Gardening your Life

How many times have you heard the expression "If You Want To Change Your Life, Change Your Environment"? Well, this is true. We have the capacity to bloom and do great things if we cultivate our environment (friendships, jobs, family, relationships, social media). Your environment helps you grow or holds you back. You can’t make a significant, lasting change without altering some elements of your environment. 

Until you change the environment around you, you will suffer. You need to take negativity out of your environment. Check the content you consume daily, stay away from emotional/mental triggers, build healthy relationships, your habits and lifestyle. It's important to realize that your environment is actually the only way you as a person can truly change. New information, new relationships, new experiences, new recipes, new plans, are how you change. 

You can start with the simplest of things. Organise your space at work and at home, change your social environment, read more books, change apartments, breakup with that person, leave that job, sell that car, block some people on social media, take a break from social media, meditate, put yourself in more social situations, take more chances, and take more action. The list goes on and on. Make the environment around you nutritious for you. Real change happens when we understand who and what best supports what we want, and then align ourselves with those people and places that do. 

By exposing yourself to a new context (i.e environment), you’re literally growing as you learn to act in new circumstances. The results may not be immediate, but as long as you keep to it, you’ll start seeing positive changes in yourself and your life.

Your environment always wins. Get the nutrients from the soil that is rich around you.
