How happy are you willing to be? Do you ever accidentally sabotage your own efforts? In this episode I talk about my experience with "Upper Limits", as described by Gay Hendricks in his incredible book "The Big Leap". In it is the idea that everyone has a "set point" of happiness, an inner level of happiness that they think someone like them should be able to expect. When your experience expands beyond that, your subconscious mind "freak out" and send you into fight or flight because you're venturing into unknown territory. This is when your "inner saboteur" may come out to start a fight, fixate on something unnecessarily, get sick, etc. This happens because you were so happy you didn't know how to handle it! So you unconsciously do something to take yourself down a notch or two so you can feel normal and safe.

So how do you increase your set point of happiness? First start by understanding the Four Hidden Barriers that might keep you back, (explained in detail in The Big Leap) and use nervous system regulation methods to calm down every time you get triggered. I explain how to use the nervous system methods in detail.

I finish by giving you my best exercise for imaging a bright new future and getting your subconscious mind used to it :)
