Thresholds That Spark Change

Change is the process — the small steps, shifts, and decisions that move you from one state to another. It’s usually gradual. You start exercising, you eat differently, you set boundaries, you reframe a negative mindset. These are changes.

Threshold: The point where stress turns into burnout

A threshold is the tipping point — the line you cross where things can’t go back to how they were. It’s when the PAIN of staying the SAME outweighs the FEAR of doing something DIFFERENT. Threshold moments often feel like:

• “I can’t keep living like this.”

• “Something has to give.”

• “I’m done.”

It’s the doorway where change becomes non-negotiable.

• Health scares → when your body gives you a wake-up call (doctor’s warning, fatigue, diagnosis).

• Relationship breaking point → the moment you realize you can’t stay in a toxic dynamic, or you’re ready to open your heart again.

• Career burnout → that day you can’t fake it anymore at work.

• Financial rock bottom → when debt, spending, or scarcity mindset finally pushes you to change.

• Loss or grief → when losing someone/something reshapes your perspective on what matters.

• Identity crisis → when you look in the mirror and barely recognize who you’ve become.

• Spiritual awakening → that moment of “there has to be more than this.”

Together

• Change without a threshold? You try, stop, and try again.

• Threshold without change? You feel the urgency but don’t act.

• Change + Threshold together? That’s TRANSFORMATION.

  You commit, you follow through, and you step into a NEW way of being.

Remember—you don’t have to wait for burnout to give yourself permission to change TODAY!
