As a thermostat controls the temperature in a room, your identity sets the boundaries for what you believe is achievable in your life.
Think of when you enter a room.?
If it’s too cold or too warm, you adjust the thermostat to align with your comfort level.?
If it’s 25 degrees outside and the thermostat is set at 18 degrees once the room temperature increases the thermostat kicks in.? It begins to cool the room down.
In life, your internal thermostat sets the conditions of your life.
Your identity regulates your internal self-worth.?
It influences your actions and results.
Consider this: Have you ever known someone to lose a lot of weight, only to put it back on?? Their fitness identity thermostat was not aligned with their desired identity.
A person cannot get 25 degrees of fitness if their thermostat is set at 18 degrees.
