If you need permission to make space for joy and laughter at work, because it can feel counter intuitive, check out this Emotional Freedom Technique video. 

Jen says: ‘work being fun can feel a bit risky. A bit not allowed. A bit frivolous. Especially if we work with serious or difficult subject matter. This is a tap to gently give yourself permission to enjoy yourself at work.’ 

A note from Jennifer and McCanna Coaching Ltd: I invite you to tap along to the videos alongside these episodes whilst taking full responsibility for your health and wellbeing. EFT is a fantastic self help tool with ever growing credibility due to positive results from scientific studies. It is not a substitution for seeking professional advice. If you are concerned about your physical or mental health please consult a qualified medical professional. If you would prefer to explore EFT with a qualified practitioner, get in touch and I’ll share some options.
