Have you ever noticed how great you feel after spending time in your favorite place, or with your favorite people? Our environment is a huge factor in our success.
I know, for example, that I am enthusiastic, focused, and motivated after spending time with other successful coaches who are as excited about helping people create amazing results as I am.
And, on the flip side, it’s pretty tough to create powerful changes in your life when you’re in an environment that doesn’t support you.
If you’re trying to lose weight, but you have a freezer full of Ben and Jerry’s, well, losing weight will be a huge struggle. If you quit buying Ben and Jerry’s, you’re already a whole lot closer to being automatically set up for success than you were before.
A few things to consider when optimizing your environment:
#1 Take a look at the people you surround yourself with. Do they support, motivate and inspire you, or do they bring you down?
What can you do to more consistently be in environments where you’re surrounded with people that support you and inspire you toward success?
#2 What could you add into your environment to make success easy, fun, and inevitable?
If you hate going to bars to meet people, signing up for a program like hinge.com might be the perfect thing to add into your environment to set you up for relationship success.
#3 What could you take out of your environment that is detracting from your ability to achieve success with ease and joy?
If you’re trying to start a business, but your workspace is so loaded with clutter that it takes you an hour to find a space to get down to work, well, that’s not so supportive.
Get rid of the clutter and watch your business soar! Make a list of things you could add to your environment to support you, and things you could take away that would make you more successful.
Bonus tip! The best way to get your body to move is by being around other people who are doing it.
For example, I love joining gyms because it forces me into an environment that matches my goals. Consider joining a new gym or taking a new class to optimize your environment.
Let's do this together!
Best regards,
