Are You Thinking In or Thinking Out?

I recently read a quotation that really got at how to flip into a more positive vibration quickly. It may also explain how some things that help us grow work. Mair Llewellyn, an EFT practitioner, reported that "One of my greatest teachers came from within an audience I was speaking to many years ago about inspirational thinking. She said to me 'I know what you mean Mary – when I’m down, I’m thinking in, in, in so I say to myself out, out out and that thought helps to lift me.'”

I think when we are "in" we are captured by old beliefs and patterns from childhood, we are in an inner child, navel gazing. When we are out, we are out of childhood patterns.

Of course, it's important to recognize negative beliefs and deal with them, we can't repress or bury feelings. There's a great book titled "Feelings, Once Buried, Never Die."

But so often, it's just the same old mind chatter, and if we can't deal with it right then, we can change the channel until we remove the station using one of the many techniques available. In the meantime, we're vibrating at a better frequency.

This explains why helping others has been found to be so healthy for volunteers. Gets us looking out. Gratitude, too.

How do you interpret this quotation? Do you think it's helpful for those down times?
