Life's a Journey: EFT Smooths the Way

I Am Not a Mistake

by Deborah Donndelinger, EFT-ADV

Issue 8, May 10, 2007


Hello friends,

For those of us who come from divorced families, there is often a feeling of not being wanted. Even if the divorce was for the best, there is often a left-over feeling of being a mistake. If the marriage was a mistake, then the children are a mistake – or at least, that’s how they feel. It takes conscious effort to reinforce that the children are a product of love, even if the parents can’t stand each other.

For those of us not from divorced families, we can still have the feeling of being a mistake. If we ever got a message that our presence was a burden, or if we don’t understand our troubled pasts, this tapping can help release that feeling.
Releasing these feelings of unworthiness will dramatically shift how we see ourselves and how we treat ourselves and our loved ones.

Warm wishes to all.

Set-Up Phrase:

Even though I feel like I am a mistake and I shouldn’t be here, I love and accept myself deeply and completely.

Even though I feel like a mistake and nobody really wanted me, I am open to the idea of wanting myself.

Even though I feel like a mistake, and I wasn’t really wanted, and that hurts me to the core, I release these feelings of hurt and am open to feeling the love around me.

Eyebrow: I was a mistake
Side of the Eye: I shouldn’t have been born
Under the Eye: My parents didn’t really want me
Nose: They were too busy with themselves
Chin: I was a mistake
Collarbone: At least that’s how I feel
Under the arm: I was a mistake
Head: I’m not sure why I was born
Eyebrow: I don’t like feeling like a mistake
Side of the Eye: I want to be wanted
Under the Eye: I deserved to be born
Nose: My life has purpose
Chin: I have purpose
Collarbone: I deserve to be here
Under the arm: I want to be here
Head: I am not a mistake


Enjoy. Let me know how it works for you.
