Restart, Reset, Refocus Friday!
This morning, I want to talk about something you may have noticed.
Over the past several months, the location of these messages has changed. They started in my kitchen. Then they moved around my house—wherever I could find a quiet corner. And lately, they’ve found a home out here on my deck.
That wasn’t intentional at first. It happened because I started paying attention to my environment.
When I was recording these in my kitchen, I couldn’t get through a single video without stopping multiple times. Someone needed breakfast. Someone was yelling. Someone needed Mom.
At first, I laughed it off.
But eventually, I noticed something else.
Every interruption made me more frustrated. I was spending more time re-recording than actually enjoying the message I wanted to share.
And that’s when I caught myself thinking...
These videos are supposed to inspire people. They’re supposed to leave me feeling energized and joyful. If creating them is making me angry and stressed, something needs to change.
I had two choices.
I could have told myself, “I just don’t have time for this anymore,” and stopped doing them altogether.
Or...
I could change my environment.
So I did.
Now I come outside, where it’s quiet, peaceful, and free from constant interruptions. The message didn’t change. The mission didn’t change. The environment did.
And sometimes, that’s all it takes.
So if you’re facing something that’s becoming frustrating—before you throw in the towel—pause and ask yourself:
Is it really the goal that’s the problem...
Or is it the environment I’m trying to achieve it in?
Could you do it at a different time of day?
In a different room?
On your commute?
Outside?
With a simple shift in your surroundings?
Sometimes the smallest change in environment creates the biggest shift in your mindset.
Don’t give up on something that’s important to you until you’ve explored whether a different environment could help you succeed.
Happy Restart, Reset, Refocus Friday 🫶🏼⭐️
