Do you think that you give off positive vibrations? Are you aware of the affect you have on others? A healthy environmental dimension, means we understand the impact we have on those with whom we have a relationship, whether family, friend or acquaintance. We understand that it requires us to invest in those relationships.
In order for us to have this kind of impact, there is a need to examine the basic paradigm from which our attitudes and behaviors get their roots. Is our belief rooted in the positive, are we empathic listeners, seeking to understand before speaking? Our circle of influence is greater when we are willing to be influenced by others. When we choose to be present in conversations, to listen to other’s stories, before we ask for permission to give our opinion, this is when our circle of influence grows, and our environmental dimension is healthier.
These are some principles that I have found helpful for my environmental wellness.
Principle #1 – service to others, endeavoring to facility others to attain their goals,
Principle #2 staying positive and optimistic,
Principle#3 affirming others, treating them as proactive individuals,
When I choose to joyfully give encouragement to others as they work towards their goals, it is then that I have the greatest personal impact. When I choose to stay positive and optimistic it is then that I believe the best is yet to come. In affirming others in their journey, it is then that I help them become who they are capable of becoming.
Do you allow the 4 cancers of emotions to influence you, to invade your environment? These cancers are criticizing, complaining, comparing, and competing. When you choose to bring the negative into your conversation with others, the environment can quickly turn toxic. There are times when any one of these 4 Big C’s of emotion can creep into our time with others. It is in our ability to sense that it is happening and make a proactive decision to change our attitude and behavior that we can turn that conversation, that time with others into a positive experience. Being aware of your influence on others, in how you choose to interact, has the biggest impact on your relationships with those in your circle of influence. It is in that awareness, which helps you to grow your circle of influence. What kind of impact do you desire for your life? Positive or Negative. Here is a thought, the point of living, and of being an optimist, is to be foolish enough to believe that best is yet to come. –Peter Ustinov
Have a beautiful and blessed day.
