There are so many little things in your day-to-day life that you didnβt even know impacted your mood, but they are so crucial to understanding how and why you feel the way you feel.
Humans are like plants, we are what we absorb. You wouldnβt be surprised that a plant dies in an environment with no sun & no water, so why would you be surprised that you canβt thrive in an unmotivating environment?
ππ The weather - This one is obvious. We humans really are like plants, in that we need sun to thrive. Have you ever noticed how much more pleasant people are during those first few sunny days of the year? Itβs biological, we love the sun. So when itβs sunny outside, even if you think itβs too hot, go out and enjoy the sunshine! If you stay inside all summer, don't complain about being tired and unenergized.
ππ The music you listen to - I know you love to listen to sad break up songs and daydream, but itβs not good for your mind. If you donβt believe me, do a little experiment: one day, wake up to the saddest song you like to listen to, and the next, wake up to the happiest, danciest song you like. See how much of a difference it makes in your mood.
ππ The people around you - If all of your friends constantly complain about their lives (justifiably or not), then youβre going to constantly complain too. If all of your friends always focus on the positive, laugh and smile through hard times, youβre going to adopt that mindset too. The thing is not to ditch your friends if theyβre negative (to themselves, if theyβre mean thatβs another thing), but to be the one to influence them towards a better attitude through being mindful of what you feel and say.
ππ Your living space - Don't even bother wondering why you are always distracted or unmotivated to do homework if your room is messy. Don't bother to ask yourself why you can't find discipline if your house is dirty and unkept. The space you live in is a direct reflection of your mind, you'll see how much more clear-headed and motivated you will feel once it's clean and organized.
ππ Your digital space - Having an organized & simplistic phone/laptop is key to make you see things clearer when being on them, and avoiding useless screen time (which is notoriously bad for us). That means deleting apps you don't use or don't serve you a positive purpose (games, negative social media platforms, etc).
