Send us a text Dr. Axa Yox reveals how calling something a "comfort zone" signals your brain that being unhappy is acceptable, keeping you trapped in unfulfilling patterns. She shares her journey from academic success through rock bottom moments to developing brain rewiring techniques that help people break free from self-sabotage and fear. • Stop pretending and being a "good girl" – honesty with yourself is the first act of self-love • Unhappiness is not comfortable, it's just familiar – our brain creates biochemical patterns we become addicted to • Fear of failure is actually fear that no one will catch you when you fall • Motivation doesn't work for lasting change – making your current situation unbearable does • Our biochemistry works on three levels: hormones, initial assessment, and chosen response • You can rewire your brain by shrinking negative reactions while amplifying positive ones • The 30-day technique involves gradually increasing your tolerance to fearful situations • Identify why you stay in toxic situations – usually it's about certainty versus uncertainty • Life is shorter than we expect – the regrets of the dying include wishing for more happiness and authenticity Check out Dr. Axa's book "Stop Calling it a Comfort Zone" on Amazon with a seasonal 90% discount.
