It's The Environment, Stupid

In this week’s episode, Chief Victory Officer, Eric Guy and former hospice nurse, Marissa Host, continue to discuss how our environment can possibly impact our cellular and gene expression.They also dive in to how a positive environment can ultimately lead to better health, performance and relationships.

Takeaways:
• An unhealthy and negative environment can reflect the person that you are on the inside.
• Healthy, positive people often include aspects of nature in their home, have a positive and bright outlook, and are surrounded by people that they love.
• Emotional hoarding can include bitterness, hatred and a lack of forgiveness. At the end-of-life stage, emotional hoarders cling to these negative feelings, which can result in a negative experience.
• Be intentional about your relationships. This sometimes requires you to remove unhealthy relationships, and to replace them with healthy ones.
• Remove the clutter that diverts your energy away from what is most important, so you can focus your energy on good relationships, marriage, children and work.
• Be intentional about bringing nature inside . Get some houseplants. Open up your blinds to let the sunlight in, remove the clutter from your home, and take a walk in the grass!
• You can choose to maintain positive thinking, even when your circumstances are not positive.

Quotes:
• When you provide a healthy environment for your cells, they thrive.
• Sometimes you feel like you need to duck, even though the ceilings are high.
• You can’t thrive when you’re surrounded by clutter.
