Environment Matters More Than Motivation If We Want To Build A Habit
Every day when we wake up, we find motivation from several factors around us. Often, we feel boosted up for the kind of thoughts someone puts on us that become the source of motivation for our well-being.
Have you ever blamed any of the incidents in your life when you failed majorly due to a lack of resources, talent or certain opportunities? We cannot deny the fact that our environment plays a vital role in our life.
Let me explain to you these points with some basic examples. In the morning, when we don’t want to go for a morning walk or probably a yoga class, watch for people around us who do this on regular basis. Similarly, try watching yoga on your mobile application and in a few days, you will observe that you are prone to do these things, building for you a regular habit.
This is because these external stimuli go to our subconscious mind. This is the power of the environment, which is more powerful than that of motivation in nature. Moreover, each of us should design a life pattern that is simple yet soothing in terms of good habits.
This concept has been beautifully explained by James Clear in his book Atomic Habits, which became one of the bestselling books in the world. Moreover, he explained that it is easy to blame failure on the lack of power and talent, but it is astonishing to say that sometimes, the environment matters more than motivation. Our environment has been a helpful hand in shaping our behaviour, attitude or way of thinking.
With this, one should ignore the negativity in their life if they want to look at the positive life ahead. Allocating in an environment that has an aura of taking a good decision will, however, benefit the future.
