Upgrade your surroundingsÂ
UPGRADE YOUR SURROUNDINGS
I am about to do a big upgrade to my surroundings, I am moving to my dream home! But it is not just the house, I feel the need to upgrade myself too. Now I have been doing the work to be the kind of woman who lives in her dream home. It is pulling me to do even more work on myself and my limiting beliefs.
What can you do to upgrade your surroundings? You may not be able to move to a new house, but there are plenty of things you could do to put yourself in an elevated mindset. Our surroundings reflect who we are, how would you like your space to be a reflection of you? If you think you are disorganized, your space will reflect that, if your style is simple it will reflect in your décor. Our homes reflect your inner portrait you have for yourself.
Often what happens is when you change your identity, your environment also changes and visa versa, just like in my situation. My inner work came first then the need to change my environment and now I am still being called to uplevel. This is great news, I am learning and evolving all the time, this is what life is about. It is such an amazing journey.
Express yourself
Environment is not the only way that you express yourself, you do it by the clothes you wear, the car you drive, the shows you watch, the people you listen to. These are things you are drawn too. Your space reflects your values and dreams. Pay attention to what you are drawn to, be curious. For example, I like a clean car and if a few weeks go by without getting it washed, I start to feel out of sorts. This is not a version of me or my car that I have in mind for the woman I want to be.
Small changes
Start collecting evidence of what you like, who you want to be. What small ways can you implement these into your environment and life? If you made small changes often, over a period of time you will see big changes. I don’t know about you, but I don’t have the energy to make huge changes overnight. So your power lies in making small changes all the time.
Small changes could be picking some fresh flowers out of your garden to put in your home. There is just something about having fresh flowers around. It could be making your bed really beautifully in the morning, upgrading your soap to one that is really delicious. It could be tidying up your lounge, fluffing the cushions, chucking the newspaper and folding up the blanket.

Please Ladies, if anyone needs coaching, contact me. Sessions are between 20-30minutes in length.
This may seem short, but you will be surprised at how much can be accomplished.
Uplevel your quality of life
All these seemingly small changes are going to change your life over time, but immediately uplevel your quality of life. You will also change how you see yourself, who you are becoming, who you want to be. Every object that you bring into your house or get rid of is a reflection of you. If you don’t like the story your surroundings are telling you about you, change your surroundings to tell the story you do want to tell. This will already set you on a whole new trajectory in your life.
When I started noticing what I liked and didn’t, I was confused at first because a lot of it was so contradictory. I like wearing monochromatic colours, no florals for me, even though there are some beautiful pieces out there. Now I incorporate both in my wardrobe. I still wear monochromatic, but will team it with a beautiful floral scarf. Same with my décor style, I love French Provincial, but would not decorate my home in this way. My style is more modern contempory, but I do have a few antique french items.
No right or wrong
So what do you like? Is it contradictory and if so think how you can incorporate it in your everyday life? There is no right or wrong, do what speaks to you, what uplifts your energy. All these little things you could do, even if you do not much like your surroundings right now. Bloom where you are planted and then when you have the means to make more changes, do that.
Ladies, let me know how you are going to upgrade your surroundings, drop me some photos.
Till next week.
