Deep dives
The Influence of Environment
Our minds are pliable and get influenced by our environment. Various factors like music, movies, books, social media, news, and the people we interact with impact our thoughts and mindset. Aggressive or sappy music can change our mood, while movies can influence our thinking. The friends we surround ourselves with can also shape our behavior and desires. Throughout the day, our minds constantly morph unless we remain aware and in control. To prevent sliding down the path of least resistance, we must be cognizant of our thoughts and actively choose what influences us, so that we stay in control of our lives.
