Want To Improve Your Cognitive Function?

A team of researchers at Duke University Medical Center have reported that exercise appears to improve cognitive abilities. This includes the higher mental processes of memory and also the executive functions which include planning, organization and the ability to mentally juggle different mental tasks at the same time. This also implies that exercise might offset some of the mental decline we associate with aging. Good news, yes?

Well, yes UNLESS you don't like to exercise, and then this research isn't very meaningful for you personally. But, you may be able to change that with EFT. In some cases people have been able to use EFT to jump start their exercise program and also to help them continue, once they have started.*
Think of the ways you resist exercising. Be specific about it. Specifics are better with EFT. Hey, you want to be smarter right? So let's find out what's between you and getting your body in gear!

  • Do you dislike getting up extra early to exercise?
  • Do you find it hard to make the time to exercise?
  • Do you find it hard to find an activity you enjoy?
  • Do you not have a good place to go to exercise?
  • Do you need an accountability partner to help you stay on track?
  • What's keeping you from finding a way to move more and enjoy doing it?

When you find the answers to these questions---that fit you uniquely---you will have discovered some good tapping targets. Here are some ideas to get you started:

Even though I set my alarm for 5:30 AM so I can get up and run tomorrow morning but I'm really resistant to the idea of getting out of bed early I deeply and completely accept myself.

 Even though I know I "should" exercise but I don't really WANT to get up at 5:30 AM tomorrow morning and run I deeply and completely accept myself.

Even though I think my brain would work better and I'd be more creative if I got more exercise, but I think I'll probably turn off my alarm at 5:30 AM tomorrow morning and go back to sleep for another hour anyway, I deeply and completely accept myself.

Play around with these ideas and come up with some tapping phrases that fit for you. And, the next thing you know you may be exercising and improving your brain's cognitive function at the same time! And, If you want to learn more about using EFT with more skill consider taking
