Environments you create are important to the collective experience

I celebrate a transition I witnessed in someone I was able to work with who was deeply withdrawn from their vitality for life. I was lucky enough to be more fully engaged than normal with this student that meant I could influence their daily schedule. I slowly changed their daily sleep and waking patterns. In the morning I would open their drapes and with an energized voice sing out, “Good Morning.” I tell students it takes about two weeks to integrate new habits and sure enough it was about two weeks when entering the room to open the drapes this person threw back their covers and in a sing song voice sang out, “Good morning.” This was a celebration and a confirmation that the environment influences mental, emotional, and physical expressions. Remember the opposite is equally as true – attitudes and language that are a Debbie downer well, that becomes your energy. It is important to know the influences surrounding you.
