The Brains Safety Zone

Ever wonder why the moment you decide to make a change, your life suddenly feels fine as is?

Your brain tells you – see? You don’t need help. You don’t need to do anything different. It’s totally fine – this is just what life is.

This might last a few days, a few weeks, a few months.

Then you find yourself right back where you were before – feeling frustrated that you’re still struggling these same things all over again.

This doesn’t happen because your life is destined to be this way, that you’re never meant to move past it, or that this is just how you are.

This only happens because your brain prefers safety. It wants to stay in what it knows – what I like to call comfortable misery.

Your brain knows this cycle of depression, resentment, feeling stuck, anger, and guilt.

If you were to make a change, if you were to do something different, your brain doesn’t know what would happen.

So many things could go wrong – it might not work, you might fail, you might see how truly broken you are.

Your brain doesn’t want to take those risks, so it shows you that everything is fine. That nothing needs to change.

The only problem with this, is that each time you say yes to safety, you say no to the life that you actually want.

You can sense that possibility, but you never move past this cycle to the life that you dream of having.

It leaves you feeling like you’re missing out on something amazing, and like there’s nothing you can do about it.

This dream wants to be heard – that’s why it keeps coming back to you.

This struggle is meant to be worked through and learned from – that’s why it keeps coming up for you.
