The standard you keep eventually becomes your normal.
If you tolerate chaos, chaos feels familiar.
If you tolerate inconsistency, inconsistency feels expected.
But when you choose steadiness, clarity, respect —
over and over — your nervous system recalibrates.
Better stops feeling intimidating.
It starts feeling baseline.
You don’t have to make a scene to raise the standard.
You just stop entertaining what falls below it.
What would feel different if “better” became your new normal?
