Good morning and welcome to the Increase Room Impact Podcast. I'm Justin Sua, episode 1,770.

There was a psychologist named Kurt Lewin who said that personal or behavior, rather behavior,

is a function of environment times personality, which essentially states that the way you are and the things you do is a byproduct

of who you are as a person and your environment, where you are. And so pay close attention.

Just think about that a little bit. Think about the people you're around. Think about the

team that you're on. Think about the team that you're on.

Think about the environment that you put yourself in every single day.

It's important to take into consideration that the environment plays a huge role on what goals you pursue, how you respond to stress, what you are focusing on, what you're talking about,

what you spend your money on, what you spend your time doing. So my question to you to consider

is, what effect is your environment having on you? What effect are the people you surround

yourself having on you? Is it positive? Is it negative? As you take some time to stop

and pause, you'll be able to see the effect that your environment has on you and then you can make

the changes, whatever necessary changes you need to make. Maybe you need to find a new group of

friends. Maybe you need to see what you can do to

change your environment in some way. Now, I understand easier said than done. I understand that some

situations you cannot change at all. But what you can do is my question is, what can you control? Where can you make those tiny adjustments?

Maybe the answer is nothing right now. And you have to find out some other ways on how to protect your

time, energy, and intention in the meantime when you can change your environment. But some of you

listening to this are very much in control of the situations

you're putting yourself in. And this is a subtle, friendly reminder to do just that. Have a great day

and we'll do it again tomorrow.
