Your room is talking to you, is it saying what you need to hear?
Everywhere I go, I bring my quotes, goals, thoughts.
A photo of Elon Musk. One of Richard Branson. A photo from "The Pursuit of Happyness" with a quote from Will Smith.
And a roll of scotch tape.
I stick them up on the walls around me to remind myself where I’m going, what I stand for, what I believe in.
We often think influence is loud. That it comes from big moments, dramatic events, or the people we talk to most.
But what really shapes us is quieter.
It’s the "soil" we sit in every day. The walls we stare at. The colors, the energy, the little cues all around us.
I read this line from Leila Hormozi recently,
“You didn’t have a bad day. You had a bad 15 minutes and you indulged it.”
The ability to indulge in the right kind of vibe depends a lot on what you see at the key moments of mood shifts.
When your environment is built to lift you up, your space, the visuals, the words in your sight, it gets easier to shift out of the funk.
You don’t need to wait for willpower. Your environment pulls you out.
Of course, you can’t always move houses or cities.
But you can shift small things - how your space looks, feels, what you put on your walls.
Most days, you won’t even notice the difference. But your brain will.
It’s like having a raincoat. You won’t need it daily, but when you do, you’ll be glad it’s there.
This is just your gentle reminder,
You have more control than you think.
Start with your space. Start with one thing.
What’s one visual cue you could add to your room today that might change how your day begins tomorrow?
PS Where do you spend most of your time? Do those spaces include “state up-tuners”?
Visual cues that ground you, lift you, remind you of who you are becoming, even when the world gets noisy or gloomy?
