This morning I awoke in a mood. A bad one.
“Don’t talk to me, I’m in a mood”, I snapped at Ross.
“I can see that”, he said.
We were about to sit down and do our “levels”. This is the term the Silva Method use for relaxing and visualising and manifesting.
“I can’t do it. I’m going into the bedroom and do some tapping.” With that I turned, picked up my phone and headed to the room.
I know, and I trust you do by now as well, that nothing good comes from being in that state.
I know that I have to get myself out of what David Bayer calls the Primal State and into the Powerful State.
The Primal State is the state of “fight or flight”. The Powerful State is a state of being relaxed, calm, peaceful and creative.
We can’t solve problems when we’re stressed and anxious and in a negative frame of mind.
I opened up The Tapping Solution app on my phone and chose a tapping meditation to listen to.
As I tapped along, following the instructions, Jessica Ortner said something that totally resonated with me. She said, “You don’t have to believe everything you think.”
Yes. Just because you’re thinking it, doesn’t mean it’s true.
In fact, how often do we create scenarios in our head and play out conversations where we’re imagining the worst or having stern words with someone who has upset us.
If we go deeper, in the 5 Primary Drivers by David Bayer, our thoughts come from our beliefs and can only ever be in alignment with our beliefs. Another “aha” for me.
Of course. If my thoughts are coming from my beliefs and my beliefs are limiting me and as David says, “If they don’t feel good, then they aren’t true”, here was another way of saying the same thing.
Just because you’re thinking it, doesn’t mean it’s true and you don’t have to agree with it.
Sigh.
Release.
Relief.
I trust this resonates with you too and that it will help when you next find yourself in a Primal State, thinking things that aren’t true. Simply say to yourself, I don’t agree. I don’t have to believe everything I’m thinking, then start thinking about something that you do agree with and that you do want.
Move yourself out of the Primal and into the Powerful State – quickly.
