🦋 Butterfly Tapping for Anxiety
When anxiety or overwhelm starts to build, a simple grounding technique can help bring your attention back to the present.
Try Butterfly Tapping:
🧡Cross your arms over your chest
🧡Rest your hands on opposite shoulders or upper arms
🧡Gently tap left, then right, alternating sides
🧡 Breathe slowly and notice what you can feel around you
This form of alternating bilateral stimulation can feel soothing and may help some people settle their body and reconnect with the present moment.
You don’t need to force yourself to feel calm. Go gently, notice what feels comfortable, and stop if the exercise increases your distress.
Save this post for a moment when you might need a grounding tool. 🦋
