Environment: Why Your Surroundings Matter

Your environment is all around you. The spaces you're in, the things you keep in them and the people you spend time with.

All of it shapes the choices you make, usually before you've thought about them.

Setup beats willpower

When the healthy option is the easy one, you take it without having to think. Most good habits are built that way, rather than by trying harder.

When the unhealthy option is the easy one, you're left relying on willpower at the moments you have the least of it. At the end of a long day, tired and hungry, it usually runs out. Change your setup and you won't have to rely on it.

What makes up your health environment

  • Your kitchen and what's kept in it.
  • Your bedroom.
  • Your daily routine.
  • Your phone.
  • The people you spend the most time with.
Remember

Stop relying on willpower. Change what's around you instead.
