Change Your Thermostat

Imagine your life as a thermostat, set to a certain level of goodness you're comfortable with. But what if you could crank up that setting and bask in even more greatness?

As life starts soaring to new heights, a sneaky tendency creeps in. You unconsciously pull back to the familiar, even if it's not as amazing as where you could be. Your happiness has a comfort zone, and it has a say in how you approach your dreams.

Were your earlier days filled with stress and pressure? It's like an echo that lingers unless you decide to shatter the pattern. It's time to escape the cycle.

Why? Because familiarity feels safe, and safety brings resistance. You might catch yourself provoking arguments, dodging important tasks, or drowning in distractions—all ways of staying in the known zone.

But guess what? You're not stuck. The power lies in recognizing you have a choice.

Regulating your inner state isn't just about being calm—it's about seizing your power of choice. Picture having the strength to step back from chaos and respond from your inner wisdom.
We've all hit those moments when choices seem out of reach, when turmoil takes the wheel. That's a sign you need to restore balance.

When you stand at the edge of your comfort zone, facing the unknown desires you've never tasted, relish it. This is your chance to expand.

And now, a nod to Gay Hendricks and his book "The Big Leap,” which introduced me to the thermostat concept. It helped me comprehend that I can set my life to a temperature I desire, and I encourage you to do the same.
