How Do You Break Your Upper Limit? ☮️☮️

Here is a question I’ve received recently:

How do I increase my upper limit and break the ceiling of my capacity for pleasure, happiness, and peace?

This is such a fantastic question! I’ve asked it many times myself, and often come back to it.

In one sentence:
Your capacity grows naturally as you remove what keeps you disconnected from yourself.

If we were to unpack it:

By regulating your Nervous System.
Pleasure doesn’t mean a constant dopamine hit. You don’t need high highs to feel pleasure or happiness or peace.

They are available right here, right now. Most often, unattached to anything external.

I remember reading this quote:
“If you can’t be happy with a coffee, you won’t be happy with a yacht.”

I’ve seen this over and over: when we pursue purely external pleasure, believing it will complete us, we disconnect from our heart, give our power away, and create unnecessary messiness on the other side of it.

By aligning with purpose and peace.

Some choices bring us more joy and peace. And some bring chaos and drama.

We make those decisions daily. Over time, we remove things that feel chaotic, toxic, and draining.

Now, this doesn’t mean we don’t face difficulties or ignore complex emotions or that we don’t take steps that require effort or bring discomfort.

Toxic is different from complex.

Chaos is different from maturity and authenticity.

By creating from a full cup.

We co-create our lives - step by step, choice by choice, thought by thought. When we create from lack, we feel lack. When we create from our wholeness, integrity, courage, purpose, and love, what we create is beautiful - more beautiful than we could have imagined.

By healing our protection.

We all have had painful life experiences. Some of them may have created beliefs such as “Love is dangerous,” or “I have to do it all alone,” or “The world is a dangerous place,” or “I have to always be angry to defend myself.” Etc.

They prevent us from
- enjoying romantic love

- building true & authentic relationships

- having it easier in life & work

- taking good care of our mental and physical health.

When we heal those protections that once kept us safe, we naturally vibrate at the frequency of abundance, love, well-being, and alignment. Then things begin to come with more ease.

And we can enjoy them tremendously.

Wishing all of us alignment in our inner and outer worlds.
