Bad habits more acceptable than tapping? Please weigh in on this!

Yesterday, I was talking to client who had a fear of public speaking. She was preparing to give a very important presentation to her boss which could potentially catapult her career. We were discussing ways she could tap under the table using EFT points on her fingers, hands and wrists just prior to speaking so she could remain calm and confident.

She said, “This is great! If anyone noticed it would just look like I had bad habit, like biting my nails or something.”

So what’s wrong with this picture?!? We live in a society where it’s more socially acceptable to have a bad habit than to publically apply a healing technique that is literally change lives for the better!?!

What can we, you and I, do to change this mindset? I want to hear from you today, so please pass on your ideas, thoughts, and comments.
