I wanted to explain why you need to give some thought to your Set up Statement and score it:

A setup statement for tapping (Emotional Freedom Techniques or EFT) typically starts with "Even though" and acknowledges the issue you're tapping on, followed by a statement of self-acceptance or appreciation. A standard phrase is, "Even though I feel [issue], I deeply and completely accept myself". You repeat this statement three times while tapping the Karate Chop point (the outer edge of the hand) to begin your tapping sequence.  

How to Create Your Setup Statement

Identify the Issue: Pinpoint the specific problem, emotion, or sensation you want to address. 

Describe the Issue: State the issue clearly, using "I feel," "I have," or "I am". For example: "Even though I feel this anxiety". 

Add a Statement of Acceptance: Follow the issue with a phrase that shows you are willing to love, accept, or forgive yourself, even with the issue present. "I deeply and completely accept myself". "I love and accept myself anyway". "I accept myself and how I feel". "I am open to loving and accepting myself". 

Examples

For anxiety: "Even though I feel this anxiety, I deeply and completely accept myself". 

For pain: "Even though I have this aching pain, I completely accept myself". 

For a fear: "Even though I have a fear of wasps, I completely accept myself". 

Performing the Setup Statement

Find the Karate Chop Point: This point is on the outer edge of the hand, on the pinky side. 

Tap: Tap this point with your four fingers (or two) while saying your setup statement aloud three times. 

Breathe: After repeating the statement, take a deep breath and get ready for the next part of the tapping sequence. 

In tapping procedures like Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), "SUDS" refers to the Subjective Units of Distress scale, a 0-to-10 or 0-to-100 rating used before, during, and after tapping to measure the intensity of a problem, issue, or pain. The process involves identifying a distressing issue, rating its current intensity on the SUDS scale, then performing tapping on meridian points while stating a "set-up phrase" to process the issue. After a set number of taps or rounds, the SUDS rating is re-assessed to track progress. 

How to Use the SUDS Scale in a Tapping Procedure:

Identify the Problem:

Clearly identify the issue, feeling, or pain you want to work on. 

Assign a SUDS Rating:

On a scale of 0 to 10 (or 0 to 100), where 0 is no distress and 10 (or 100) is extreme distress, assign a number to the intensity of the issue. 

Formulate a Set-Up Statement:

Create a phrase that acknowledges the problem and accepts yourself. Example: "Even though I have this nagging worry, I deeply and completely accept myself". 

Tap with the Set-Up Statement:

Tap on the "karate chop" point on the side of your hand while repeating your full set-up statement about three times. 

Tap Through Meridian Points:

Repeat a shortened version of your statement while tapping on other established meridian points, such as those used in EFT. 

Re-rate the SUDS Level:

After a few rounds of tapping, re-focus on the issue and assign a new SUDS rating. 

Adjust and Repeat:

If the SUDS level has decreased, you can move on to a new issue or continue tapping to reduce it further. If the issue persists, you can continue with the tapping process until the distress level reaches 0 or a minimal level.
