Comfort should be a scary word.
For the last 24 days with a group of amazing women, I went through Deepak Chopra's 21-days of Abundance challenge.
Boy did I learn a lot.
One of the things that really hit me is that people love to stay comfortable.
Nothing wrong with that.
But for me, it doesn't move things forward. It doesn't allow abundance. Or success. Just staleness.
Also, it's PREDICTABLE.
Safe.
What drives that too?
Fear.
Fear of so many things. Call it fear of rejection. Fear of failure. Fear of change. Fear of the unknown. Fear of what others are thinking about you.
The problem with comfort is that it lingers around your house, in your family, like mold or bacteria in your bathroom.
I see this with families who have a child that isn't too disruptive - maybe they are shy, or they are picky eaters, or they still wet the bed, or they can't give proper eye contact. Those are 'minor' things. Or are they?
But, intuitively, the parents know. Especially the mother. There's something that could be better. Something that can improve. But what?
What is that excessive shyness about? Is it 'just their personality'? Or could it be more of a deeper functional disconnection in parts of the brain of that child?
Did you know that these shy children will probably continue to have brain neural connection issues which might lead them to having chronic anxiety as adults?
These are possibilities.
But why wait to find out?
My point is, don't stay comfortable in your daily hamster-wheel routines, day in and day out.
Commit to changing your routine. Help yourself. Help your child.
Choose to make a difference in your lives by taking action now.
As a family.
Together.
Get your family’s spine and nervous system checked.
