It's amazing how quickly I find myself taking on the energy of the environment I'm in. When I'm in California around family and friends I find myself embracing moments of silence, solitude, and generally exercise more patience.
But when I touch back in New York after several weeks, or months away I notice my pace instantly quickens and my to-do list expands.
Neither are necessarily good or bad. But what I've noticed is that if you're not careful you can also take on the energy of toxic people and their environments.
How often have you found yourself suddenly gossiping because a friend, or family member takes delight in doing so and you don't want to rock the boat? Or maybe, you become less health conscience, or start to take on behaviors not congruent to your own core values?
The trick is to know your principles so well and be so in tune with your goals and philosophy that no city, state, country, or planet will be able to shake who you are and what value you hope to offer others.
You'll be able to adapt to your environment, while standing your ground.
