Go Sara!
From my recent experience I say yes to tapping when you get a craving, but also, tap when you don't. I've been tapping most every morning on things important to me, and have been happily surprised with how it has "primed me" for in the moment tapping later in the day. When I tap in the morning I'm much more likely to think of tapping later when I crave a candy bar or whatever.
Some ideas:
- Tap on it in the morning and before you go to bed.
- Tie it into things you do often, like tapping on it every time you get in your car, or every time you sit down to breast feed (I have no idea if you are nursing or not,) or every time you prepare food for yourself or your kids...
- If there are times when you normally would have one, like when the kids are off playing, or at lunch time, etc, you might set your cell phone to remind you tap on it *before* the usual drinking time arrives.
Not that you have to do any of those, just tossing out ideas.
On the headache - I learned this from Linda. Besides tapping on the headache, you might want to ask yourself questions about it and see what comes to you. Like...
Why do I have this headache?
What is this headache telling me?
What benefit do I get from this headache?
Your answers may reveal areas you need to clear. Like, I have this headache because I don't take care of myself! Then you'd tap on "Even though I don't take care of myself..." Or, maybe there's a specific event in your past that you didn't even realize was impacting your self esteem and thus influencing you, like a time in high school when your peers made you feel lower than low. I did this exercise recently for breast pain and was surprised at the answers that popped up. I tapped on them and the pain was gone before I'd even finished the list of answers. Definitely there was some connection there.
Some other questions to help clear your energies around the diet coke: (Again, my phrasing may not apply to you, I'm just tossing out ideas.)
Why do I drink diet coke?
Why do I drink too much diet coke?
What benefit do I get from drinking diet coke?
How do I protect myself by drinking diet coke?
What do I get out of abusing my freedom to choose what I drink?
What am I avoiding by drinking diet coke?
What am I afraid might be/happen if I stopped abusing diet coke?
Much love for you : )
