Stop Whipping Yourself to Get Tasks Done

Hello there!

Today’s article will walk you through a simple EET template for helping you to get tasks done without being harsh and authoritarian towards yourself. 

Too many people go through life whipping themselves through life’s tasks as if enslaved to an internal, mean boss.

Let’s walk through a healing EET session where we can use Life Energy and our intentions to help us heal from feeling disempowered, disappointed, or disillusioned when faced with the tasks of daily living.

I hope you find this technique helpful in transforming your inner dialogue to accomplish daily tasks gracefully and easily.

Take good care of yourself!

EET Healing Series: Stop Whipping
Yourself to Get Tasks Done

Getting Things Done with Grace and Ease

Many struggle with attention, focus, and organization long before being diagnosed with a mental health problem. That’s because these functions are often the most sensitive to stress and show up long before depression, bipolar disorder, or psychosis appears.

Performance suffers when underlying causes of mental illness cripples executive functions. In response to disappointing academic or work performance, people often develop a habit of whipping or berating themselves to accomplish tasks.

This process often starts early in life during school and continues for the rest of one’s life. Of course, this inner, negative dialogue makes life and work even more unpleasant and onerous. Self-esteem dwindles and self-hatred becomes the norm. 

If you find yourself caught in this habit, this EET technique walks you through a healing template to restore your ability to accomplish tasks with self-compassion, joy, and excitement rather than fear and self-doubt. 

I hope you’ll find the session helpful!
