As we get closer and closer towards Christmas holidays, we recognise it as being the time traditionally for getting together with family and friends. However for some of us, there might well be some concern about meeting up with a particular member of the family or maybe a family friend. And this is where EFT can really come to the rescue, if we are able to tap on a specific relationship.

Is there someone that you are not looking forward to spending prolonged periods with over the holidays? Does the mere thought of them unnerve you and does everything you do just seem to annoy them - so much so that you now feel uncomfortable in their presence; or, does everything another does just guaranteed to get under your skin?

If so use your EFT and tap:

• Even though I am really not looking forward to being with . . . . . for a prolonged period of time, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.
• Even though it is going to be really difficult to remain calm and unaffected when . . . . . winds me up continually, I deeply and completely love and accept myself?
• Even though I will find it almost impossible to not attack or retaliate when under pressure, I deeply and completely love, trust and accept myself.

If this sounds more than a little familiar to you, now might also be a good time to consider whether you would rather be right or be happy? When you truly ask this question of yourself, you will find that on a deeper level you might prefer to take the high road to choosing to be happy rather than being right.

How about drawing a line in the past, therefore leaving the way open for the possibility of a clearer and more communicative relationship when you consider the actual and real value of the relationship?

Just reacting as you always have in the past when triggered, will probably ruin yet another holiday for you. However taking responsibility for the situation and how we feel, we are more likely to achieve a positive outcome. Not only will the personal peace gained from this be very worth it, but it may well set the tone for a better quality relationship with this person in the future!

So keep tapping . . .
