EFT Tapping Script
Heal from Cellphone Addiction
Preparation
Sit comfortably or lie down.
Take a slow, deep breath in… and exhale fully.
Bring your awareness to your habit of excessive cellphone use.
Notice the feelings, triggers, or situations that lead to it — boredom, stress, social comparison, habit, or FOMO (fear of missing out).
Acknowledge them without judgment.
