I’m sure you had a good laugh watching this short video. I love the way they casually converse trying to figure this whole “internet” thing out. And now, of course, the internet, email, Facebook, Twitter, iPhones, iPads, Skype, is as normal as it gets!
Beyond bringing a smile to your face today, I’m sharing this video because I think it helps remind us that the world is changing so rapidly, and change that is that rapid tends to put new demands on ourselves and our lives.
The real question is, how are our souls, our spirits, our inspirations, that deepest part of us…keeping up with this change? And look, I’m not a technophobe, I love this stuff! But I also recognize that when I’m checking my email on the phone, just to see the latest little thing that might have happened or that needs to be handled, it might be going too far.
I recognize that perhaps it’s time to take those moments, to breathe, to tap, to access those parts of us that long to be acknowledged.
So if you find yourself moving a little too fast, being overwhelmed, running from thing to thing, take just a few minutes and do the short tapping round below. It’s not always about that huge, life-changing breakthrough (though it can be). It’s often about finding that space, that gap, that moment to CONNECT. To connect to ourselves, our family, our friends, our purpose, our planet.
Tap and see what happens…you’ll be surprised at the beauty that springs forth when you do so.
NOTE: Doing the short tapping rounds below can take as little as 60 SECONDS! Give yourself that time now – you deserve it!
If you’re not familiar with the tapping points and process, you can see a short video explaining it here.
Karate Chop: Even though I’ve been going too fast, I deeply and completely accept myself
Karate Chop: Even though I’m too busy and overwhelmed, I chose to relax and let it go now
Until next time…
Keep Tapping!

I didn’t realize until I tapped how emotionally “bent over” I’ve been because of recent world events.The heaviness shows in my posture first. Thank you for the reminder that we are not powerless!
Thank you so much for the diagram!!!!! I always try to remember the steps and can’t.
Thanks, Nick, for the laugh. I can’t believe we were clueless about the Internet in 1994?! That doesn’t seem that long ago until you really think about it.
I love all your emails and scripts and reminders and you – and Jessica’s – positive energy!!
Such a relief Nick to do that simple sequence and relax and connect to Source again. It is so good for you to name how crazy this rapidly changing world is at this time. I sure can feel the tension vibes and let it get to me. So thank you for the healing of The Tapping Solution. Mike
Thank you so much Nick. I have just started tapping and hoping that it will work for me.
Thank you! It is helpful for all of us to slow down from time to time and go tapping.
Thank you for sharing that video and its so true. We are so hard on ourselves and by doing that we miss out on so much.
Thanks Nick, I love tapping and I have shared it with so many people. I have seen the results. Actually I did not notice the results until I went back in time and noticed the positive changes in my life and to other people’s lives compared to 2 years ago, when I bought the movie (The Tapping Solution). the most important thing is that when I do have something that is really bothering me I know what to do and I tap. I do forget to tap but after a few days or maybe weeks I always get back to it. I am so grateful for the tapping solution and for you and for Jessica. I do tapping sessions for the employees and it has helped them so much. I would love to meet you and Jessica one day. You should come and visit us here in Mauritius, it would be wonderful.
Wow, very profound and appropriate for our lives.
Interesting how we are all going through this sea of overwhelm in our lives causing us to experience tremendous amount of unconscious stress which is creating havoc on our bodies .
Nick and your team is doing such a wonderful job in letting everyone know the importance of slowing down
And that’s it’s ok to be calm and not be part of the rat race.
Thank you for letting us know that’s its ok not to multitask and its ok not to be too cool all the time .
After coming back from a 2 days spring cleaning that’s exactly what that I needed.
Thank you,Nick, you’re a real caregiver.
Tapping has changed my life.
OMG! This is really funny! Katie was clueless! 1994 does not seem all that long ago. Watching this video you’d think it was more like 50 years ago not 20!
Thanks Nick for sharing a piece of the puzzle. That society can sometimes dictate our lives pace.
And that it is perfectly ok to slow it all down. To take time to live in the moment,isn’t that why we are here anyways?
Aloha to All from Honolulu;
Thank you Nick!
Great to notice I have been caught up in pressuring myself to do more & more.
Feel the frenetic energy…
Realized (during the sequence, that led to other spontaneous phrases), that I do not have to embody that frenetic energy.
That while I feel it around me, I have pressured myself (Type A), I can now choose to relax, to trust in Divine Timing & Divine Order.
My ego-self does not have to take charge, I can turn it over.
So much stress I have felt I created from believing I had to be doing more, be more, accomplish more! We’ve bought into societal pressures.
Yet to live in harmony, cooperatively as a human species (in harmony with all other species, ocean, air, fauna & flora alike…); we need to be in harmony with ourselves.
If we are living stressful lives, we have lost our connection. How about we model living a saner pace, trusting in Divine Timing?
As things keep shifting rapidly, as more energy is available to embody, we will feel urgency. Yet, we can be in the Timeless Dimension – not in this 3D, pushy, Type A, anxious, stressful ways of being.
We do have a choice, when we remember!
So thank you for helping me stop, take time to slow down, to experience this. I choose peace. Walking in harmony with, not stressing over.
My body thanks you too, as all the stress I’ve been feeling has caused a lot of symptoms. So, I choose Peace. I choose Love. I choose Trust in, Faith in, a Friendly Universe.
Mahalo Nui Loa! Mahalo Ke Akua! Aloha Ke Akua!

What a great tapping script! Many thanks for all your hard and thoughtful work.
Gwendolyn
Thank you. I’ve been stressed about my job and school and this really helped.
I can totally relate to this video. Thank goodness I upgraded myself and became computer literate and can type fast cause holy moly!!!! Who knew?? Didn’t have computers when I was in school (this is dating me big time!!) When I did take computer training we learned the DOS operating system which young people don’t even know existed! thanks for this!
I’m tapping every day and it is wonderful!
1994 IS 20 years ago, not 10.. though, it has to be pointed out. It is a substantial amount of time.
Thank you, the video made me smile, I like the script in particular, I pick the statements that are most relevant to me and use them when I tap, I even have my 9 and 6 year old tapping before bedtime, they will do anything to stay awake an extra 5 minutes, so it is the perfect time to tap with them! 🙂 The world is moving too fast for our kids too, their childhood experiences seem so different than mine were!
Thanks Nick the world is changing rapidly. I am 77 years old and some days with all the new technology I some times feel like I was born on little house on the prairie. Thanks for posting this!
Need more help, support…ie when Jessica would talk through it helped me (and my dog).Please, if you can help us.
Hi Nick, That video was funny !
I like following along when you do a set up or script
can you do one for making a commitment to myself
Thanks
It worked!
Thank you for the script. This is the first time I read about the transition to positive phrases. Tapping like this makes much more sense now!
Most helpful~ thanks as always!
Yes, the world has changed dramatically. The complex problems and events can certainly shock and disturb us. When you care about the suffering and injustice that affect so many lives today,and of which we feel helpless to remedy; it can take a toll on ones peace of mind. Thank you for your kind reminders. Your book is most informative and gently takes us through the steps of dealing with present and past issues. You give us amazing coping skills that make our journey much more bearable. Many thanks for your caring heart.
Nick, loved this short but effective script to help us slow down. Will be using it regularly when I’m feeling overwhelmed.
Thank you for this quick tap and the script…it is perfect in the middle of a stressful day. I am loving the regular emails…like a gentle reminder keeping me on track.
I loved your book and appreciate all the videos you send to us. It helps keep us on track. Thanks, Pat
Thank. You, I find the “words” to be the most difficult part. Also knowing when to flip it from a negative to a positive. This was helpfully.
Thanks!!! I needed that more than I realized. Thanks also for providing the script. I can use it over and over. I look forward to your email reminders. Can’t wait to get the book.
Thank You I really appreciate this tapping script ,for the first time I could managed to follow it ,simple and easy
I m happy now I can start to form the writ sentence to tape on it .i v it clear now, God bless U .
Namaste .
Dear Nick, I should comment on this particular short tapping session, but I want to thank you for all your emails, reminders, videos and notes that are coming my way since I discovered you through Dr. Mercola. It seems you became part of my family now, thanks to the fast, crazy and sometimes overwhelming technology. There were moments when your reminder…. “Keep tapping”, really helped me through some particular emotional upheaval and I will be for ever grateful. So when ever I see your message in my inbox (amongst the other dozens), I welcome it and yes, the tapping surely helps to slow the crazy life speed down. Thank you once more.
Thank you all I hope this will help other people who are afraid to tap
oy! it is so funny (?), ironically so, that I am just catching up with this blog, today, over a month after Nick posted it, about too much to do!
Thanks, Nick.
I took 60 seconds to tap.
I even took several complete breaths!!
all IS well.
AWESOME!!!!! THANK YOU!!
Hi Nick,
Thank you for this calming quick “find yourself” Tapping session, it really did do it’s job in about 2 minutes. How I wished I’d had this the last two and a half years as my terminally ill husband was dying, I had a business to run, and I was on the hamster wheel running for dear life with wet cotton wool for a brain.
Only in the last 2-3 months have I been able to get myself in a state of “normality” with the help of a lot of Tapping but this one would haven given me that breathing space at that time, however better late than never as it certainly worked its charm on me, thanks to you.
Now when I start my EFT Practice very soon, had some hold ups, I’ll be able to centred and calm, when I have a really busy day and not feel like that hamster again so I’m now looking even more forward to getting started and being able to help people find my style of a calmer life.
I remember having that ‘deer in the headlights’ kind of feeling when I heard about the Internet. I also remember thinking we’d get by just fine without it! Lol!!
Greetings Nick, I do appreciate your comments and help in my personal life. You are a Light on this Planet that is here to gather us all together in a tapping unification on our personal bodies that connects us to the Whole Christed Body of Humanity!!! And at this Christmas time I want to thank you for Being ALL THAT YOU ARE, AND SPREADING YOUR JOY AND LOVE TO ALL THE WORLD THRU US! I, individually, and us, collectively Unite today to breathe out a BLESSING OF PEACE, LOVE, HEALTH, HAPPINESS,AND PROSPERITY among all those who are suffering, in sorrow, and hurting at this time across our land. We must tip the balance on the side of LIGHT, LOVE AND LIFE! At this time of the Winter Equinox and the 12-21-12 LET US HOLD HANDS ACROSS THIS NATION AND WORLD TO HELP BRING IN THE PEACE THAT PASSES THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE MIND OF MAN ALONE, FOR THE GREATER MIND TO TAKE OVER AND GUIDE US ALL INTO A NEW WORLD OF PEACE! AND SO BE IT! ALL MY LOVE, JENNIELEE
@ Royce Morgan:
Hi Royce, I’m an occupational therapist from Germany and I’d like to tell you about my experiences I had with EFT and kids. I have so far been using EFT on kids from age 7 and higher and I always found it to be very helpful. My handout is in fact a two page article with nothing but a diagram and a list of the steps. Most kids don’t bother about the background information, I just tell them that I am going to show them an easy way to get rid of (their fear, anxiety or whatever it is), then make a demo, then let them find the tapping points and then start tapping. – I mostly do this in a one-to-one situation, but also sometimes in small groups – not more than five kids though and it works really well. Best is to integrate one or both parents so they can support their kids (and eventually themselves) to go on tapping at home.
Go ahead and do it, I’m sure you’ll find it very rewarding.
Greetings from Germany, Monika
In 1984 searching for informations via computer would have been SiFi and in 1994 just a few people had an idea what kind of new stuff the internet would bring along.
Thanks for sharing!
Tapping is really working to ease our tension
Thank you
I absolutely love tapping – and with things changing so fast, i really need a way to slow myself down and collect my thoughts — tapping does that for me. And, if it weren’t for the Internet and the Ortner’s — Nick and Jessica, I probably would not know about this and how to do it. Be well, everyone and feel free to tap your troubles away.
Thank you very much Nick, it is very good, I very quickly felt relaxed and calmed again. Very usefull this tapping script, these days when time goes by so fast!
Many thanks!!!
Great script for this Christmas holiday period! Thank you, Nick!
You are the very best, Nick, at getting in touch with things affecting us NOW! Thanks so much for your emails and thanks infintely for the 2012 Tapping World Summit which is changing my life financially, emotionally, but still not loosing any weight. Could you address this AGAIN–especially in this season of gluttony that we’re in.
God bless.
Dawn
Thank you Nick. Your blog is good reminder on how changes are occurring too fast these days…too many of them. It’s incredible how technology has crept into our lives…and how dependent we are on them. No, you can not be not connected…I get paranoid at the idea of being left behind on the latest of what’s happening around me and even at the world at large…as if my life depends on it. How right you are about forgetting to internalize and give oneself a few minutes a day to our thoughts and feelings to know the person that I am. Many thanks…all the best.
How much more light to unveil the secrets that have been hid from us for years. All coming to light. I like your tapping script.
A wonderful and funny reminder how we approach changes to our lives and culture. Not unlike the horse and buggy to the “horseless carriage” (which will never catch on). LOL
I read this after checking my email frantically all day waiting for someone to contact me and feeling tied up in knots because I haven’t been receiving enough correspondence. And this blog made me take a step back to realize, not only is hour to hour correspondence not necessary but also not a true measure of my own worth, which what was the underlying impetus for my almost manic email seeking state. Just the right words and idea and the right time, Thanks so much Nick!
