Your surroundings determine how you think and how you feel. But they also determine what you think and what you feel. And most importantly, what you do.

You might be in environments that aren’t helpful for you. But you can use the power of changing your environment to get closer to your goals, to challenge you, and to shape your behavior in positive ways.

The impact environments have on us is enormous. Let’s use this to our advantage.

In which environments do you spend your time?

You can think about environments as physical locations, like places where you work, play, or meet others. Also think about social environments (like family or friends) and cultural environments (like norms, values, or practices). Where do you work, play, or meet others? Where do you wind down and relax?

Notes

What impact do these environments have on you?

Think about how your surroundings affect your mood, energy, relationships, and behaviors. Also think about productivity and creativity. Are your environments suitable for their particular purpose?
