I don't know why I sometimes neglect my personal needs, but sometimes I do.
Yesterday, for an example, I didn't eat as much food as my body needed.
So, there I was in the car, being driven by my husband to the coast,
and I started getting a headache because I hadn't eaten enough food for the day.
I really didn't feel like talking about it to my husband, so, I started silently
tapping on my karate chop point on the side of my hands to see if I could get some relief.

Some of the set-up phrases were, Even though:

• 
  I have a headache that was probably caused because I haven't eaten enough food today,
  I deeply and completely love and ccept myself
  
• I know better than to go this long between meals...
• I am angry at myself for not taking better care of my body and I am paying for it now...
• I am self-sabotaging myself by not taking care of my eating needs...

 I try to have water available wherever I go, and had a drink of water.
I started to immediately feel some relief. Then I quietly tapped my points:

• EYEBROW: this headache pain
• SIDE OF EYE: I haven't eaten enough
• UNDER EYE: I wish I would have taken time to eat properly
• NOSE: I know better than to do this to myself
• CHIN: I feel angry at myself for putting myself in this predicament
• COLLARBONE: this aching head
• UNDER ARM: I should have taken time to eat
• HEAD: looks like I have been self-sabotaging myself again

 I stopped tapping and noticed that I was already feeling better. I still had a little brain fog.

• EYEBROW: I still feel a little brain fog
• SIDE OF EYE: when will I learn to take better care of myself
• UNDER EYE: when will I stop doing stuff like this to myself
• NOSE: I know better than this
• CHIN: next time, I will take better care of myself

I didn't have to finish the second round. I felt better and my headache disappeared.
