ARE YOU A THERMOMETER -or- THERMOSTAT?
On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, you’re going to get a chance to discover if you’re a thermometer kind of person -or- a thermostat kind of person.
Basically, a thermometer just records the temperature. It registers the warm or cold degrees of the room it’s in and lets you know what’s happening outside of you and around you. It’s a reflector of a space.
While a thermostat actually sets and changes the temperature. It has control and can affect the world around it.
To illustrate this point, and to come at it from a different angle, I’ll first share a personal story about encountering different types of people - some warm and welcoming, and others cold and off-putting.
Then I’ll dive deeper into things, by drawing inspiration from the originator of this concept, Dr. Henry Hitt Crane, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who also did a sermon about it.
I explore how rather than just passively reacting to the environment around you like a thermometer, we get to be a "thermostat" who can work to change or improve the environment or community it finds itself in.
The core message is that we have the power to choose who and how we want to be. Instead of being reactive to society – we can be proactive and actually transform it!
Developing a Daily Spiritual Practice (DSP) can also help you train your mind to be more aware and intentional.
Whether it's meditation, prayer, or simply setting an intention each morning, you can learn to be a thermostat - someone who transforms the temperature of their environment through love, empathy, kindness, warmth, and positive energy!
