🌳 The Law Of Environment

QUOTE OF THE DAY

THE LAW OF ENVIRONMENT

Who you surround yourself with matters. It matters so much. As the great motivational speaker Les Brown says, “If you surround yourself with losers, you will end up a loser!” (It’s even more powerful when you hear it in his voice)

So if you find that you are no longer growing, you must change rooms. You must go to where the growth is happening. If Planet Fitness is full of people Instagramming their “influencer” workouts, then maybe Gold’s Gym is the place for you instead.

Surround yourself with people who support your growth. If that’s not happening in your current environment…leave. Your growth is too critical to leave to chance.

If you want to change, start with your environment

Your environment has a huge impact on who you are as a person because typically your environment has been the same for a consistent amount of time and therefore you have developed cues and habits within it. A good example of this is serious heroin addicts, they get addicted and 79% of them that went to rehab relapsed which is due to the fact that they are staying in the exact same environment that they were in before they first went into rehab.

This shows that you need to fix your environment first. If you want to change and you’re staying in the same environment you’re only making it harder for yourself as now you have to fight against your habits.

Your environment will fix most of your problems

On your phone too much? Go to a place where you have no signal, It won’t even become an option.

Feel like you’re making no progress at your commercial gym? Go to a bodybuilding one (It doesn't mean you have to become one but your whole perspective of training will change).

Get too distracted when working? Go work in an entirely blank room where nothing can possibly distract you.

ACTIONABLE NEXT STEPS:

Think about what bad habits you have or things that you struggle with and attempt to link them to your environment to figure out what can be changed.

TAKEAWAYS:

Your environment is everything, most people neglect it but those that understand it can utilise it.

LESSON OF THE DAY ⤵️

Change the way you speak about yourself and you can change your life

Bruce Lee said:

"Don't speak negatively about yourself, even as a joke. Your body doesn't know the difference. Words are energy and cast spells, that's why it's called spelling. Change the way you speak about yourself and you can change your life. What you're not changing, you're also choosing."
