Environment

Your environment is everything.

Repeat after me: Your. Environment. Is. Everything.

I don't thrive in the cold. I don't thrive looking at snow. I become a different, dark person, struggling to see the light. I lose my sparkle, my wander and love for life.

I shook things up. I took a leap of faith. I drove my little Red Rocket (yes, thats my cars name) from Ontario to Alberta, to accept a job in a rural area. Little did I know, that it would still be snowing, in bloody May - MAY! I cried immediately at the sights of the snow and the blistering cold, literally cried hysterical tears. The weather and I need to be on the same sunshiney side. And we just weren't. As soon as I got to Alberta, I could feel the tension, the anxiety and the suffocation from my immediate arrival. IT WAS NOT MY PLACE. My soul was screaming this at me.

SO LOUDLY.

However, my mind, was trying to rationalize and "stick it out" like others had been telling me to do.

I went the unconventional route and decided to go against the odds. After 30 days, of a mental breakdowns and tears, I did it. I left. I bailed after "sticking it out" for a month. I went to my hearts calling. I drove to Vancouver.

I couldn't be happier, at this very current moment. Things ARE NOT easy right now. But my mindset is fucking THRIVING. My sparkle, wander and desire to explore are back. My anxiety and depression are slowly decreasing and my moods are more consistent.

Fight me on this topic if you wish. BUT YOUR FUCKING ENVIRONMENT IS EVERYTHING. •people • places • things • weather•

Clean up your space. Ditch the old and make room for the new. Create a clean work environment and clear out the clutter. Be more of a minimalist and get rid of things that don't serve you. Quit the job you despise. Move countries if you're feeling suffocated. End those toxic relationships.

Free yourself.
