The Science: Why Worry Won't Stop
Worry is your brain's attempt to solve future problems—but it often gets stuck in a loop, replaying the same concerns without resolution. This activates your stress response, keeping you in a low-level state of fight-or-flight even when there's no immediate threat.
The more you worry, the more your brain thinks worrying is important. Neural pathways strengthen with use, so chronic worry literally trains your brain to worry more. Breaking this cycle requires calming the nervous system so your brain can find new pathways.
How Tapping Breaks the Worry Loop
Tapping on acupressure points while acknowledging worried thoughts sends calming signals to the amygdala—the part of the brain that keeps the worry alarm ringing. As the nervous system calms, many people find they simply can't bring forth the worried thoughts that had been plaguing them. The mental static clears, allowing for clearer thinking and genuine peace of mind.
