How to apply Emotional Freedom Technique to past failures

How to use EFT to clear shadows of past failures

Remember a time when you tried your hand at something, and failed, miserably? Are you letting the shadow of your past failures sabotage your present chances of success, even if unknowingly? Failures, and the feelings of sadness and inadequacy, can linger quietly under the surface for years. It could be failure as a child to succeed in school work, or at sports, or as an adult trying to make their way through the world. How about we try EFT tapping to see if we can erase these dark writings from our walls, so we can then autograph them with shining success?

During the tapping think about one or more failures in your life that you often get reminded of. Repeat tapping with different failure situations to cover as much ground as possible.


EFT tapping set up

Karate chop

Even though it hurts to even think about my past failures, it is indeed worse to know that my past failures are preventing me from being successful now, and in the future. I wish I could reclaim my power and start all over again.

Even though my past failures haunt me, and prevent me from being the best I can be, I wish I could start over somehow, without the burden of these past failures.

Even though it feels counter intuitive that my future success is not really affected by my past failed efforts, even so I’m opening up to the idea that it might be true after all. That gives me a fresh start and feels liberating!

EFT tapping round 1

Eyebrow    I’ve not succeeded in the past.

Under the eye    I’ve been a loser at most of what I’ve done.

Side of the eye    These past failures are proof enough.

Under the nose    They obviously show a trend.

Chin    Whatever I do, these past failures

Collar bone    keep sabotaging my efforts.

Under the arm    It is true that I could have given

Top of the head    some things better attention,

EFT tapping round 2

Eyebrow    I could have worked harder.

Under the eye    But all I’m left with is regret.

Side of the eye    These past failures reside in every part of me.

Under the nose    They keep reminding me

Chin    not to push myself too hard

Collar bone    since I’m doomed for failure anyway.

Under the arm    My past failures teach me

Top of the head    to rejoice in others’ failed efforts too.

EFT tapping round 3

Eyebrow    It is as if I’m looking for validation

Under the eye    of failed efforts everywhere around me.

Side of the eye    And within me.

Under the nose    They preemptively sabotage my efforts

Chin    to become better, to contribute better.

Collar bone    What if I could get out

Under the arm    from under the shadow of my past failures?

Top of the head    What if I could wipe the slate clean

EFT tapping round 4

Eyebrow    that has my past failures written all over?

Under the eye    What if I could learn all I need

Side of the eye    from my past failures, and start afresh?

Under the nose    What if I don’t need to keep beating myself up?

Chin    What if I don’t need to hold myself back

Collar bone    from being the best I can be?

Under the arm    These past failures are like a big rock

Top of the head    tied to my feet that keep me where I am.

EFT tapping round 5

Eyebrow    What if I could instead use them

Under the eye    as stepping stones to future success?

Side of the eye    Maybe I don’t need to feel  like a failure

Under the nose    in order to learn from my failures.

Chin    I choose to acknowledge the lessons

Collar bone    from my past failures and be thankful.

Under the arm    I choose to trust that I am afterall, good enough.

Top of the head    I choose to open my mind to the possibility

EFT tapping round 6

Eyebrow    that past failures are NOT indicative

Under the eye    of my future success.

Side of the eye    I am opening up to a whole new outlook,

Under the nose    and ideas that will steer me in newer,

Chin    better directions I never knew!

Collar bone    I’m opening up to being pleasantly surprised

Under the arm    by how wonderful I truly am!

Top of the head    I’m welcoming success into my life, with open arms.
