Hadar Shemesh reads from Gay Hendricks's The Big Leap, explaining how people have an internal thermostat that limits how much success and happiness they allow themselves. When you push past that setting, you self-sabotage to pull back into what feels safe and familiar.
Each of us has an inner thermostat setting that determines how much love, success, and creativity we allow ourselves to enjoy. When we exceed our inner thermostat setting, we will often do something to sabotage ourselves, causing us to drop back into the old familiar zone where we feel secure. Inner thermostat setting is a device that controls temperature. So here it means like an inner control system. Thermostat. Exceed is go beyond, be more than. Then we have sabotage. Sabotage. To sabotage is to harm something on purpose. And then we had another phrase that I want to talk about causing us to drop back into the old familiar zone. So to drop back is to return to an earlier or a lower level or a bad habit that you might have had.
