Emotional Freedom tapping for guilt over wasting money
We all have times when we buy something excitedly, only to discover that the product just isn’t all that it’s jazzed up to be. It may even be downright worthless. You could return it for a refund. But when a product fails to live up to your expectations, it isn’t just about the money.
Money is definitely a factor in things that are non-refundable big ticket items. But buying into aggressive selling can raise other doubts in our minds. About how well we can decide for ourselves and whether we’ll ever learn to decide better. This mixed with disappointment and anger about wasted time and fallen hopes is a recipe for a long term regret about that purchase.
Sometimes the hype about things can drive us to the point of pulling out our wallets without first consulting our common sense. Outside factors including advertising can create a faux need in our minds to the point that we are almost desperate to shell out the money.
The message lies in that desperation often leads to purchases that bring disappointment, since in such a state of mind we don’t think very clearly. How about we try tapping to see if we can be more confident about our next purchase? If you wince silently whenever you see an item you purchased, you could benefit from tapping using that purchase as your focus.
EFT tapping set up
Karate chop
Even though I feel so disappointed in my purchase, I deeply and completely love, accept and forgive myself anyway.
Even though I made a wrong decision and bought a loser product, I’m open to learning to decide better which products are truly good for me and which ones I can pass.
Even though I’m angry that I wasted money on this useless stuff, I want to stop wasting my energy and precious time sulking about it.
Even though I keep buying wrong stuff on impulse, and I’m afraid I’ll do it again, I want to be able to choose better the next time I’m faced with temptation.
Even though I often get sucked in by all the snazzy salesmanship and hypnotic advertising, I want to use common sense over temptation when making a purchase.
Even though they made it seem to me like I needed this product, and I obviously don’t, starting now I choose to listen to myself first about what I really need.
