Step 1: Emotional Check-In

Ask yourself:

No judgment—just noticing.


Step 2: Setup Statements (Karate Chop Point)

(Tap side of hand gently)

“Even though I feel this anxiety, heaviness, or tension…
I deeply and gently accept myself as I am.”

“Even though part of me feels overwhelmed, low, or stuck…
I honor what I feel and allow space for healing.”

“Even though I carry stress, pain, or past experiences…
I choose to be kind to myself in this moment.”
