Do you ever find yourself in situations in which you simply cannot relate to anyone around you or anything that they’re saying?  Or perhaps you feel completely misunderstood by them.

Over the course of my life I have consistently felt like a square peg in a round hole. At no time was I more definite about that than when I moved from the UK to Canada in 1998.  I felt so different, so out of place – I simply couldn’t relate to anyone or anything.  The way I spoke was different, the things I found funny were different; even the food I was eating was different from what I was accustomed to in the UK.

I definitely believed I was misunderstood.

As I learned EFT and started to heal and grow as a result I realized that being a square peg in a round hole was something to celebrate.  I had unique gifts and I wanted to explore that even more with you today. So perhaps you may want to consider a time when you felt out of place or uncomfortable in a situation.  Perhaps someone was judging you or misunderstanding you and how we can do some EFT to become a little bit more comfortable and accepting of who you are and what you have to offer the world.  So that rather than it being a burden to being a square peg in a round hole it is something to celebrate.

Before we start tapping I ask that you take full responsibility of yourself, your emotional, spiritual, mental and physical well being as we tap and as we finish tapping.

Lets start by tapping the karate chop point.
Even though I feel like I don’t fit in, I really want to accept myself because I am doing my best.
Even though I feel like a square peg in a round hole and I felt that way most of my life
Maybe its time to start celebrating how unique I am
Even though they really don’t get me I deserve to treat myself with a little more compassion anyway

Top of head: I don’t fit in
Eyebrow: I feel uncomfortable
Side of eye: they don’t understand me
Under eye: and I really don’t understand them
Under nose: This is really hard for me
Chin: I want to fit in
Collarbone: and I feel so uncomfortable all the time
Under arm: I feel as though they’re judging me

Top of head: I know they misunderstand me
Eyebrow: What’s wrong with me
Side of eye: What’s right with me
Under eye: I wonder what would happen if I could focus on that
Under nose: I am unique
Chin: I have a square peg
Collarbone: What if that is something to celebrate
Under arm: I’m starting to realize I have many things worth celebrating

Top of head: I want to want to celebrate them
Eyebrow: and maybe now is the perfect time to do that
Side of eye: I spent a very long time questioning what’s wrong with me
Under eye: simply because I feel so different
Under nose: maybe its time to start honouring what’s right with me
Chin: simply because I’m unique
Collarbone: I’m loving the shift in my perspective
Under arm:  I am truly grateful I can celebrate who I am now

Now close your eyes and take a deep but comfortable breath.   Notice any changes you may feel in your body after tapping.  And perhaps it is time to go back and work on any specific events where you definitely felt out of place and uncomfortable, where you felt misunderstood and judged because “ they didn’t  get me” and perhaps the technique on those events.

I wish you well with your tapping and I wish you well in celebrating exactly who you are and the unique gifts you have to offer.
