The same goes for us as people \u2013 when we act like thermometers, we take on the mood or energy of the space we walk into. If it\u2019s tense, we become tense. If it\u2019s relaxed, we relax.\n\nWe mirror the atmosphere. And while it\u2019s useful to be aware of your environment \u2013 you can also end up losing your own centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Termostaten: s\u00e4tter v\u00e4rmen<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>But a thermostat does something else entirely. It also checks the temperature \u2013 but then makes an active choice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udcac Is the room running too hot? Time to cool it down.<br>\ud83d\udcac Is it cold and distant? Let\u2019s warm it up a few degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being a thermostat means leading with intention. You influence the climate rather than absorbing it.\nMaybe the room is tense due to ongoing conflict \u2013 that\u2019s when a cooling presence can help restore balance.\nOr maybe it\u2019s cold due to silence or language barriers \u2013 and then it\u2019s time to bring warmth, curiosity and connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So How Do You Become a Thermostat?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Each room is different. Sometimes you know exactly what you\u2019re walking into, and sometimes you don\u2019t. But two things are always within your control:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1\ufe0f\u20e3 <strong>Your inner state<\/strong> \u2013 how you feel, your energy, your presence<br>2\ufe0f\u20e3 <strong>Your intention<\/strong> \u2013 what you want to create, contribute or influence<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before stepping into the room, take a moment to check in with yourself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What\u2019s my current state \u2013 do I need to adjust it?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What\u2019s my intention in this conversation or meeting?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What do I want to bring into the space?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When you enter the room with awareness and clarity, you <em>naturally take your place<\/em> with more calm, confidence and purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So\u2026 What Do You <em>Choose <\/em>to Be?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Thermometer \u2013 or thermostat?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For me, this is a connection to my values. Who I want to be. One of the values I have is \"Joy\":<br>For me, it's not about always being bubbly or smiling. It\u2019s about stepping into a conversation \u2013 planned or spontaneous \u2013 with presence, warmth, and curiosity:<br>\ud83c\udf31 <em>Who do I have in front of me?<\/em><br>\ud83d\udca1 <em>What can we create together?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I carry joy as my intention, something happens. I see more opportunities. I become more creative. And I notice that it spreads \u2013 that others dare to be more open, playful, and curious in return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joy is not something I wait to feel \u2013 it\u2019s something I choose to make space for. In meetings, in relationships, in my everyday life. Just like the sun on a spring day \u2013 when it warms right into your soul \u2013 I want to bring that feeling when I step into a room. And you know what? It makes a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udcac What attitude do you want to choose when you step into your next meeting or conversation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m curious to hear if you have any tips for being a thermostat?
