Your Environment Is A Choice
When I say your environment is a choice, I don’t mean your physical environment — though that can obviously be your choice too, sometimes. But if you have a job to go to, I mean a job outside the home and you’re not now working from home because of the pandemic, then your physical environment isn’t always your choice. You can’t wear yoga pants and baggy sweatshirts to the office, right?
I was more talking about your mental/emotional environment.
I subscribe to emails from a website called Project Happiness which talks about the science of happiness. And each day I get an email with a quote. Today’s quote by an unknown source said:
You become what you surround yourself with. Energies are contagious. Choose carefully. Your environment can become you.
You know how when you’re around people who are happy an exuberant and full of joy, their energy, their joy and happiness and exuberance rubs off on you and get put in that frame of mind/attitude/energy too? The same goes for when you’re around people who are negative and complaining that you become negative and complaining? There’s even science on that — that people adapt to other negative habits and become negative nellys themselves.
