Are you settling for a 7/10?

Why are you struggling to improve your situation even though you’re not feeling great?

I'd argue that it's because you’re in the worst possible place to be: a 7/10.

You’re not suffering enough to motivate you to change.

If you were at a 2 or 3, in a situation so bad you can't stand it anymore... you would definitely find the motivation to change your habits.

A pain so bad you can barely move. Levels of stress so high you can barely function. Or sleeping so little that it affects every part of your waking hours.

But at a 7, you’re used to feeling a bit shit all the time. It’s not bad enough to push you to change, even though you know you could be feeling so much better if you did.

Most people live their lives there, at 7. And only start taking action when something gets very wrong (slipped disc, nervous breakdown, etc.)

I was in this situation last year, and I didn't want to be most people. I wanted a 10/10 life. So I decided to leave my 7/10 job (translator at Nintendo) to pursue my 10/10 career in yoga.

And by the way, what counts as a 7 or a 10 is entirely up to you. My 7 might be your 10 and vice versa. But it's good to know where you stand. As always, awareness and self-reflection is key.

I go a little deeper on the subject in this week's podcast episode. Give it a listen and tell me your thoughts :)

Om, peace 🧡
