I came to my parent's house

one day, very frustrated about a history paper that I had to write.  I had

attempted to begin writing the paper numerous times but I was unable to figure

out where to start or even where to go about the topic.  It was the first

time I had this professor and was nervous of what she was expecting of me,

because in previous history classes I had received very high marks and wanted to

continue.  My dad could feel that I was frustrated when I walked into the

kitchen and he said, "Marlise, what is bothering you today? I said "I have to

write this stupid paper and I have no idea what I am doing, I have been trying

to work on it for the last few days and I don't even have the first line written

yet.  I have tried to find information, but because I am confused on the

topic, it doesn't really help matters."  My dad then said, "Lets tap it

out". I said, "Tap out my problems in history?" I never thought EFT could be

used with school, seeing how the only times that he had used it was for my mom,

and for me if I had a headache or what not.  So I said "Why not, it is not

going to hurt anything to try."  Between 0-10, I was probably at about a 10

knowing that the paper was due in less than a week, and I always like to have

things done a few days in advance so I can go over them. So we

started.

• Even though I am confused

  about the topic....
  

• Even though I am nervous of

  how my professor is going to mark this paper....
  

• Even though I am unable to

  find information based on the fact that I do not fully understand the

  topic....
  

• Even though I am unable to

  write a word down with out being frustrated....

 
Soon after

tapping on those few points I noticed that I felt different, I was less nervous

about my mark, I felt that if I was to go home I could actually sit down and

write my paper, but I knew that there was still something there that was not

right. I was probably now at around a 3 or 4, so we continued:

• Even though I am somewhat

  stressed about my mark, I know that I will do  fine and I truly love and

  accept myself.
  

• Even though I feel that I

  am still unable to write down what is most important and get my point across, I

  know that I am capable and I truly love and accept myself.
  

• Even though I know that the

  information is not hidden in my resources, I  feel that I am able to find

  it because I am a great history student and I truly  love and accept

  myself.

After the last set of

tapping, my number went down to a 0.  Not long after I left my parent's

house, got home, sat down at my computer and tapped myself one last time before

I started to read and write.

• Even though I am a little

  stressed, I know that I am capable of writing this  paper with ease and I

  truly love and accept myself.

Within two hours, I had read

through my resources and wrote a 10-page paper, that I felt quite confident

about.  As soon as I realized what I had just done I called my Dad and

said, "Umm dad, it worked." "What worked?" he said, with a smirk on his face

that I could see through the phone. "The tapping, I'm done my paper, and I feel

very good about it. It's amazing! I am really not sure what to say."

After that experience with

EFT, I continued to use it on a regular basis.  While I was studying I

would use it, before tests, before class presentation, and even if I was just

not feeling right that day.  EFT is an amazing thing and can help people in

so many ways, all I have to say is, "Thanks Dad".
