Environment is Everything
Dear Savvy Woman,
Here’s a picture that I recently took of my office. Isn’t it pretty, clean and simple ? ;-) I like things that way! Notice the big candles in my fireplace. These are to remind me to slow down, and to bring softness and spirit to my workspace.
The big gold box on the left of the mantle is my Magical Creation Box. I’m going to tell you more about how to make yours in an upcoming post…stay tuned. The women at my Love & Success Boot Camp last week *loved* making theirs!
The big gold frame (gold, a fav of mine, is a very creative hue, by the way! Not to mention it’s gorgeous & luxurious…) on the right that you see holds a Letter of Gratitude that I wrote to the Universe (see my Dec ‘08 blog posts for instructions here: www.BeLoveSavvy.com/blog, and write yours for this year!). I can’t help but stop and read it regularly because of it’s massive presence in my space.
This space is part of my physical environment - my office where I spend a considerable amount of time. But I write not just about physical environment, I also want to highlight that our emotional and spiritual environments are tremendous in shaping our experience. How are yours working for you?
I repeat this often to clients and to myself: You are the average of the 5 people that you surround yourself with. Who do you hang out with the most, either in person or in cyber space? Be sure to make conscious choices. We spent a lot of time on this at the recent Boot Camp event and it is both daunting and exhilarating, because we can’t change what we don’t acknowledge. As creatures of habit, we can get use to environments that don’t serve us and our destiny of Well-Being. Daunting, it can be, because the reminder is there that we are always at choice.
What will you choose?
Be sure to create environments that hold you in your values and support your highest good and desires. Start small, grabbing the low-hanging ‘fruit’ to pick off. In your physical environment, sometimes we just need a clearing out of the build-up = papers, magazines, unused items. In our emotional and spiritual, we might need to taper down contact with a draining relative, or let go of friendships (with love) that don’t feel supportive or have mutuality. And sometimes we find we are in a relationship with a man (a large part of our environment) that isn’t the right partner.
Here is to continuing to create our environments with love.
From my savvy heart to yours ~

Leslie, thanks for sharing such a wonderful post. Surrounding ourselves with an environment conducive to wellness and thought is so important. I wanted to share a post with you that I wrote due to the wonderful event you held prior to Valentine’s Day. Your friend, Teresa Kuhl of TRuEStyle shared some excellent pointers on recession proofing your closet.
