Menstrual cramps

Here is a tapping script that I hope will help you if you are suffering from menstrual cramps. Firstly write down your score on a scale of 0 – 10 (where 10 is maximum pain/discomfort).

* Even though my period feels like a curse every month, I still deeply and completely accept myself anyway
* Even though I feel so emotional and the slightest thing upsets me when I have my period, I accept my feelings about this
* Even though I get these really bad menstrual cramps and I just want to curl up into a ball, I still love and accept myself anyway

Take a nice deep breath. Re-assess your score. Keep on tapping and use your words where appropriate. E.g. if you feel you have a dark cloud hanging over you when you have your period, then use these words. If you feel your period pains feel like a red-hot poker digging in your back then use these words! You get the idea!

I hope that you feel better soon.
