Nicola. Thank you. It makes sense how I still do things that I know I shouldn't. I like the staircase analogy. It reminds me of one of my favorite quotes. It is from Nurika and goes "Step out on faith and you will find firm ground to walk on, or you will grow wings to fly."
So maybe the body says Ah here is where I'm safe.....I'm not going back outside.....back outside beyond my comfort zone.......back outside to where it's not safe. So let's stay inside the same old same old forever.

Thank you, Earl. I have never heard this quote, though I have hear of Nurika through you, and I love it.

Is that what we are talking about/experiencing?
That’s it, in a nutshell, Bronce. Imagine there are two roads we can choose. The familiar road. The foreign road.
One leads to same old, same old.
One leads somewhere you haven’t been yet, into actual growth.
The familiar road is the one that feels safe. SO we think that’s the one for us. But it’s really a loop, more of the same.
The foreign road feels unsafe, until you step onto it.
Our conditioning gets pretty loud when we choose the foreign road, but fulfillment follows.
And familiarity has grows hopefully with confidence
I think so, Brooks. Facing the unfamiliar grows our confidence and grows familiarity.
