How to Stop Overthinking & Anxiety with EFT – A Simple Technique to Rewire Your Mind for Calm
Does Your Mind Ever Feel Like a Never-Ending Loop of Worry?
Is overthinking a problem for you? You sit down to relax, but your brain has other plans…
“Did I say the wrong thing earlier?”
“What if I fail at this?”
“I should have done that differently…”
“What if something bad happens?”
Before you know it, your thoughts have spiralled out of control.
You feel it in your body too—tight chest, racing heart, restlessness, and that pit in your stomach that won’t go away.
This isn’t just “stress” or “overthinking”—this is your nervous system stuck in overdrive.
But what if you could break this cycle in just a few minutes?
That’s exactly what EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), or tapping, does.
This simple yet powerful technique has helped thousands of people calm anxiety, stop overthinking, and reset their nervous systems in real time.
And today, I’m giving you a FREE EFT script to help you shift out of anxiety instantly. (Details below!)
Why Overthinking & Anxiety Feel So Hard to Stop
Most people try to “think” their way out of anxiety… but the problem is, overthinking lives in your nervous system—not just your mind.
When your body is stuck in fight-or-flight mode, your brain is wired to:
Overanalyse every situation
Expect the worst-case scenario
Stay on high alert, scanning for danger
It’s like having a car engine that keeps revving even when you take your foot off the pedal.
This is why deep breathing or “thinking positive” alone isn’t enough—your body needs a physical reset to break the loop.
This is where EFT tapping comes in.
What is EFT & How Does It Stop Anxiety?
EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is a simple process of tapping on specific acupressure points on the body while focusing on an emotion or thought.
Think of it as hitting the reset button on your stress response.
It sends calming signals to your brain, telling your nervous system that you’re safe.
It clears emotional energy blocks, helping you let go of negative thought loops.
It rewires your brain’s response to stress, so you stop overthinking automatically.
In fact. within minutes, you can go from anxious & restless to calm & clear-headed.
Try This Simple EFT Tapping Sequence for Anxiety & Overthinking
Step 1: Rate your anxiety on a scale of 1-10.
Step 2: Begin tapping on the side of your hand (karate chop (KC) point) and say:
“Even though I feel anxious right now, I deeply and completely accept myself.”
“Even though my mind won’t stop racing, I choose to let go of this tension.”
“Even though I feel overwhelmed, I allow myself to feel safe and calm.”
Step 3: Tap through the following points while repeating a phrase:
1️⃣ Eyebrow: “I feel so anxious right now.”
2️⃣ Side of Eye: “My thoughts won’t slow down.”
3️⃣ Under Eye: “It feels like I can’t control my mind.”
4️⃣ Under Nose: “I’ve been stuck in this pattern for too long.”
5️⃣ Chin: “But what if I could release this tension?”
6️⃣ Collarbone: “What if I could feel safe in this moment?”
7️⃣ Under Arm: “I choose to let go of this overthinking.”
8️⃣ Top of Head: “I am safe. I am calm. My mind is clear.”
Step 4: Take a deep breath and check in with how you feel.
Step 5: Repeat if needed until you feel a noticeable shift.
Most people feel lighter, calmer, and more in control after just one round!
A Story of Instant Calm
Previously, I worked with a client who was constantly overwhelmed by her thoughts.
She described it as “a storm that never stops” inside her head.
At work, she couldn’t focus.
At night, she couldn’t sleep.
Even when she tried to relax, her mind just wouldn’t switch off.
We started using EFT to interrupt the anxiety pattern.
By the end of her first tapping session, she was shocked. Her mind had slowed down for the first time in years.
Within a few weeks of using EFT, she was:
Falling asleep faster & waking up more refreshed
Handling stress at work without panicking
Feeling calmer in situations that used to trigger anxiety
When your body learns a new way to feel safe, anxiety no longer has control over you.
