You Need to Change Your Environment

QUOTE OF THE DAY

YOU NEED TO CHANGE YOUR ENVIRONMENT

374 Words | 1 Min 30 Sec Read

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.

Surround yourself with people who support your growth. If that’s not happening in your current environment, you need to leave because your growth is too critical to leave it 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 if your environment has been the same for a consistent amount of time, you would have developed cues and habits within it.

A good example of this is serious heroin addicts; they get addicted, and 79% of them who go to rehab relapse, which is due to the fact that they go back into the exact same environment that they were in before they first went into rehab.

Your situation won’t be as severe as that, but it could be as simple as you’re struggling to get work done because you’re trying to work in your bed, and your bed makes you feel relaxed and tired, which is counterproductive to you trying to get work done.

Theres a simple fix to this, which is just having a dedicated workspace, a dedicated environment to getting work done, which acts as an accelerant as per something holding you back.

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.

ACTIONABLE NEXT STEPS:

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.

LESSON OF THE DAY ⤵️

Either find a new space to work or eliminate the cues within your bedroom so that relaxation isn’t an option.

Put your phone in another room, take your TV cable and put it in another room, and strip your bed so that there's no option to go and'relax’ on it.

You can be as extreme with this as you like; destroy the notion that it's a place to relax during the day.
