Your environment is important. Some environments are non-productive for you and some environments are productive for you. It all depends on your purpose and intentions at a specific stage in life or most importantly, it depends on your vision of purpose in life.
And your environment is subjective in more ways than one. It is the subjective realm that determines your environment and it is subjective as to what environment is right for you. In other words, what might be a great environment for one person could be a terrible environment for someone else.
Your environment affects your vibration and your vibration determines the environment to which you are drawn to or the environment in which you remain. Some would call this Law of Attraction 101. While this is most definitely true, your environment is not only a representative of the Law of Attraction, it is representative of the Law of Vibration as well.
The Law of Attraction works with the Law of Vibration in creating various synchronicities (the order of the cosmos working in our time-space reality) that play out according to your vibration. For example, I had a friend from college who I saw a number of years back, she was a well-known party girl in our circle in college.
Since college, nothing had pretty much changed for her. She worked at a bank as a Head Teller and she “lived for her weekends.” She worked for a small bank in which she had the weekends off and on Thursday after 5:00 pm. She went home and planned which clubs she would hit Thursday, Friday, and Saturday Night.
“Yeah, she told me, I have to go out Thursdays because most Thursdays are ladies night. Everyone will be expecting me. You know the party doesn’t start until I get there. So Friday, I have nothing to give at work.” Then she told me she had been working at the same small bank for 4 years. She said it took her 3 years to get to the head teller position.
Moreover, she told me how she really wanted to go back to school and get her masters and get a position in the marketing department of a larger bank. She went on to tell me how she still lived in the same apartment she rented after college and how she still throws her Block parties for Halloween, her birthday, and New Years Eve. “Everybody where I live looks forward to my Block parties,” she told me.
I simply listened and smiled. For nearly a half-hour she went on and on about how everyone in her neighborhood and the tellers she work with all want to see pictures she took at the “exclusive” clubs she gets into and pictures of what she wore each night. She went on about how her credit cards were maxed to the limit because she wouldn’t be caught dead in the same thing twice.
Then after a half-hour rant on her party life, she begin talking about how hard it was to find a good single straight guy (her words, not mine I happen to know there are some great men out there if you’re available). She bounced the conversation between her work woes and her relationship woes for about another hour.
Finally I asked, “If you found a good straight single guy, are you still planning on doing your thing at the clubs?” I asked.
“Hell yeah.” She responded. “No man is going to tell me where I can and cannot go. He better try to keep up with me.”
Then I asked, “If you go back to school, how are you going to manage to still do the club thing?” I asked.
“Well, I mean, I can schedule my classes, like I did in college. Remember?” She asked.
“And work?” I asked.
“Yeah,” she said quite confidently. “I just can’t push my friends out of my life. A lot of my friends expect me to be there or like they say, ‘it’s not the same without me.’ There are several people I work with that wouldn’t be able to get in some of these places without me and people where I live treat me like a celebrity. I can’t disappoint my fans.” She said laughing.
After I talked to her a little longer, I got it. Subconsciously, she knew that her environment prevented her from attaining many of the desires and goals she had in life. She was stuck and although she truly desired more, she tied her whole self into this “party girl” identity perpetuated by the ego. She was still stuck in the vibrational frequency of the egotistical identity she created in college. Her environment and lifestyle was only a reflection of it.
That was nearly 5 years ago when I last heard from her. A mutual friend told me a few days ago that the bank she used to work for closed down and now she is working for a retail clothing store as an assistant manager. According to the mutual friend, she moved out of the apartment where she used to live and now she’s trying to get back in school, but financially it has been difficult for her.
I didn’t judge her for what she chose to do with her life at the time because we have all been there. We have allowed the ego to run rampant in our lives as we buy into the illusion of the ego by not taking the time to get to know who we really are.
As a result of this resistance to self-knowledge and self-realization, we get stuck in a vibrational frequency which causes us to attract people, places, and things that continue to perpetuate the illusions of the ego. The voice of our soul may be speaking to us, but we are not listening.
So how do we get out of a non-productive environment with the Law of Attraction and the Law of Vibration? Well let’s be honest here. Either you are using the Law of Attraction and the Law of Vibration to co-create the reality you truly desire, or you are using the Law of Attraction and the Law of Vibration to continue to perpetuate the illusion.
However, if you truly want to change your environment from a non-productive environment to a productive environment, you have to do some things that Roslyn and I often say “makes the ego uncomfortable.” Here are some steps to get you on point:
(1) Meditate on the beauty and greatness of your being (your true and authentic self) through silence and present moment awareness. Begin meditating for 15 minutes before you start your day and then build on it. Meditating each morning will center you in who you really are and set the pace for the voice of your Soul to speak to you. In this state, you are making yourself available to your highest good. Being available to your highest good will transform your vibration to a higher frequency and get you out of a frequency that is non-productive to your purpose, intent, and true desires.
(2) Journal about your activities for about a two week period. Then note some conscious changes you can make that would be more conducive for the type of environment you want to live in and the lifestyle you want to lead. For example, my old college friend could have given up her party lifestyle on Thursdays and perhaps Fridays and opted to take one class towards her masters. This change would have transformed her vibration and she would have been available to more good.
(3) Make the time to visualize what you really want in your life daily. Visualization and imagination are wonderful spiritual tools and technologies for seeing more and recognizing that infinite possibilities are available to us. When we visualize how we want to live our lives, our environment changes through the orchestration of the Universe, yes, our environment changes cosmically through divine order. If we never visualize what we truly desire, then we are not opening our mental faculties to the infinite possibilities of manifestation. Therefore, our time-space reality never transforms it just continues to follow patterns of the same vibrational frequency.
(4) Make a conscious effort to find people with which you can network and build friendships. Socialize with people who are in the environment you want to be in. My grandmother and mother always told me to “watch the company you keep.” They meant watch the people you hang around and if they are not living the way you want to live then you don’t need them in your life—that’s just good old fashion wisdom.
(5) Write down a vision for your life. Read it daily. Remind (yes re-mind) yourself of your true desires. In the day to day grind, if we don’t remind ourselves of our true desires and our vision for life, then we won’t recognize (re-cognize) our opportunities even when they are staring us in the face.
(6) Always affirm who you really are. Now I am saying this wholeheartedly. I love to party just as much as my friend. That’s right I still party. I am spiritual and dedicated to evolving on the path of enlightenment, but I like to party. However, I do not make it a part of my identity. When I choose to party, I party with people who are like-minded. We dance. We talk. We drink fresh juice, herbal tea, and Kombuchas. We have a great time, but it still affirms who I really am. The only identity I hold to is that “I am a Living Soul with a Living Mind and a Spirit at One with Source Energy—God, The ALL.” That’s affirming who I really am.
Yes, it takes a conscious effort or should I say a higher conscious effort to transform your vibration. You most certainly can work with the Law of Attraction and the Law of Vibration to get out of a non-productive environment into a productive environment, but it requires that you change your vibrational frequency. Don’t allow the ego to trap you in a vibrational frequency that doesn’t align with your true and authentic self. The voice of your Soul is calling out to you beseeching that your reality matches that of your Soul’s purpose. You can get their by changing your environment to an environment productive for your spiritual growth and personal development.
