FEELING STUCK? DO SOMETHING UNCOMFORTABLE TODAY

Get out of that box. You know the box… we both know the box all too well. 

One of my mentors always says, “Do something that’s uncomfortable today. Do something new. Try something on your that-might-feel-weird list.”

Do I do it?  This is hard to admit, but in the past few years, I’ve only stepped outside that yummy box of comfort a few times during big life moments… when staying in the box was causing more pain than the unknown.

But that was yesterday. Today it’s a new reality… no more procrastinating. You’re reading the first of many reflections I’ll be sharing on topics like holographic energy work, self-love, worthiness, and more.

In my inner being, I know little changes are the catalyst for BIG changes… very profound, right? I’m sure this is in a book of quotes somewhere. Here’s another one: The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result.

The point is, we must change habits to push out old clutter & bring in the new shiny stuff.

Scientists call this ‘neuroplasticity’ and ‘epigenetics’ – the ability of the brain and body to change based on your choices. Don’t let the terms throw you off. Think of it like this: each day is a chance to update your internal software.

Each day can be viewed as New Year’s… out with the old and in with the new. But we don’t have to linger for an entire year. Each morning offers a new world, a clean slate. Literally, in our Quantum reality, each day you can reset the possibilities.

8 Powerful Reasons Why Switching Up Your Routine Can Change Your Life (Backed by Science):

1. You fire new neural pathways.
   Your brain is like a muscle. If you keep using the same pathways (routines, thoughts, behaviors), it runs on autopilot. When you do something new, it forces the brain to fire in unfamiliar ways, literally building new connections that expand your thinking and creativity.
2. You get out of survival mode.
   Repeating the same routine every day can trap your nervous system in a low-level “fight or flight” response. Small changes (like taking a new route to work or switching up your morning routine) signal safety to the body, reminding it that you're not in danger, just growing.
3. You shift from unconscious to conscious living.
   Most of your actions – and reactions – are driven by subconscious programming. When you change your routine, your awareness heightens, and this awareness is the first step toward choosing a new reality instead of repeating the past.
4. Your brain starts rewiring itself.
   According to Dr. Joe Dispenza, every time you think a new thought or take a new action, neurons fire in a new pattern. Repeating these new patterns strengthens them, forming new neural networks – and that's how transformation becomes lasting.
5. Your beliefs start to shift.
   Dr. Bruce Lipton’s research shows that beliefs live in the subconscious and they shape our biology. When you step into new habits or experiences, you're interrupting the old belief loop. You create space to install new, more empowering belief structures that support healing and growth.
6. You teach your body a new chemical signature.
   Every thought you think produces a chemical. Negative routines often reinforce stress chemicals like cortisol. New, positive experiences – even small ones – trigger feel-good chemicals like dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin, helping you feel more alive.
7. You become energetically magnetic.
   When you do something new and feel proud, excited, or inspired, your energy field shifts. These elevated emotions broadcast a different signal to the world, helping you attract better outcomes and synchronicities.
8. You reclaim your power to choose.
   The moment you break a routine – even in a small way – you prove to yourself that you are not your habits. You are making the choices & decisions. You are in control and that realization alone opens the door to massive personal freedom.

Hope this helps spark something new for you today. If you’re feeling stuck or want support as you step outside your comfort zone, I’m here.
