Breaking the Rules

August 8, 2018 by drleannamanuel Leave a Comment

Today I broke the rules.  Some people might not think that this is too serious.  I didn’t break any laws.  I didn’t cheat at any games.  I ate pasta for dinner.  I’m sure it doesn’t seem like much to you, but to me it is quite disappointing.  When it comes to my food, I don’t … [Read more…]

I Don’t Have Time to Exercise

August 6, 2018 by drleannamanuel Leave a Comment

“I don’t have time to exercise.”  I say these words a lot.  I’m a very busy person.  Intellectually I know that what I mean is that I don’t have time that I want to allocate to exercise, but the feeling that I don’t have time is quite real.  Tap along with the exercise and see … [Read more…]

Deeply Ashamed

August 3, 2018 by drleannamanuel Leave a Comment

This is a tapping exercise that I first used in 2011.  It pains me to tell you, but it was true again this week.  I am once again deeply ashamed of how out of control I am about food. In my own defense, it isn’t always true, but some things have obviously changed in my … [Read more…]

Don’t Try – Do! Another Lesson from the Tao Te Ching

August 1, 2018 by drleannamanuel Leave a Comment

While the message Don’t Try – Do! may be more recently associated with my little green guru Yoda, it is also a lesson from the Tao Te Ching.  It is also a lesson I have struggled with, although intellectually whole-heartedly support. Setup (while tapping on the karate chop point): I have a tendency to say … [Read more…]

There May Not Be a Right or Wrong

July 30, 2018 by drleannamanuel Leave a Comment

There may not be a right or wrong. I’ve been exposed to this concept before and have certainly used it in psychotherapy more than once when encountering someone’s rigid beliefs.  Honestly, this is a concept that I often struggle with and I have a marked tendency to see things in terms of right and wrong.  … [Read more…]

Emotions Are High

July 27, 2018 by drleannamanuel Leave a Comment

It seems that emotions are high (intense) everywhere I go.  That makes me uncomfortable.  When emotions are high it seems harder for me to predict what is going to happen and therefore, harder to feel safe.  I prefer things to be calm and peaceful.  That doesn’t mean that I don’t enjoy a good debate, but … [Read more…]

I Am Uptight, Anxious, and Overwhelmed

July 25, 2018 by drleannamanuel Leave a Comment

The words uptight, anxious, and overwhelmed describe me all too often.  Life can be going well most of the time, but when something happens that is unexpected (good or bad) it can throw me off my game.  Tapping helps me to recover. Say that statement out loud, “I am uptight, anxious, and overwhelmed.”  Rate the … [Read more…]

Exercise Avoidance

July 23, 2018 by drleannamanuel Leave a Comment

Have you ever skipped a planned workout because you just didn’t want to go? Meridian tapping can help to keep you on track for your health and fitness goals. This is actually a pretty old video.  Much has changed since I filmed it.  I’ve moved twice, broken my arm, and changed jobs.  My commitment to … [Read more…]

Thinner This Year

July 20, 2018 by drleannamanuel Leave a Comment

Thinner This Year: A Diet and Exercise Program for Living Strong, Fit, and Sexy was more challenging for me than was Younger Next Year.  That doesn’t mean that I didn’t like it, but I had to concentrate more to get the information.  Chris Crowley’s witty style is definitely present and Jennifer Sachek’s portions are interesting, … [Read more…]

Younger Next Year

July 18, 2018 by drleannamanuel Leave a Comment

Three letters sum up my reaction to the book Younger Next Year: Live Strong, Fit, and Sexy – Until You’re 80 and Beyond by Chris Crowley and Henry Lodge. You choose either WOW or OMG.  For me, this book was a life-changer. In reality, a lot of the information, the what, was not new to … [Read more…]
