Before you go to bed at night, try this for a good night’s sleep.
Think about your level of stress from the day and rate it on a scale of one to ten (ten being the highest).
Write this number on a piece of paper.
Take the index and middle finger of your dominant hand and tap five to six times on each of these following acupressure points:
As it is a bi-lateral system, you can tap on either the left or right side.
The sequence is important:
- Side of hand—(outside, about half way between the end of your little finger and the beginning of your wrist)
- Outside of eye—(on your temple)
- Collarbone— (in the indent just under your collarbone where it meets the sternum)
- Beginning of your eyebrow— (close to the bridge of your nose)
- Under your eye—(on your cheek bone directly underneath your pupil)
- Under your arm—(on the side of your torso about ten centimetres below your arm pit)
- Collarbone— (in the indent just under your collarbone where it meets the sternum).
Now close your eyes and take three deep breaths, in through the nose and out through the mouth and think about your stress again.
Has it dropped from the number you wrote on the piece of paper? If not, repeat the sequence until you experience a drop in your stress rating.
