Manage episode 381756095 series 3525606
Often, we overlook the impact of our surroundings on our thoughts, behaviors, and habits. But are you aware of how they could be the game-changers in your life? Have you ever wondered how your environment influences your mindset? Psychologists affirm that our environment significantly impacts our mood, productivity, and overall mental health. Our surroundings reinforce certain behaviors while suppressing others, thereby shaping our actions and responses.
One of the key factors that contributed to Hazel's transformation was her decision to change her environment. She recognized that her current circumstances were holding her back and preventing her from reaching her full potential. By surrounding herself with positive and successful individuals, Hazel was able to shift her mindset and open herself up to new possibilities. As she explains, "I changed my pond. I changed my environment. And that's what made me wonder and want more for myself."
Hazel Ortega shares her inspiring story of overcoming poverty, violence, and loss to create a life of success and fulfillment. Growing up in a dangerous neighborhood in Los Angeles, Hazel witnessed the devastating effects of gang violence and experienced personal tragedy. However, she refused to be defined by her circumstances and instead chose to change her environment and mindset. Through education, personal development, and a strong belief in the power of manifestation, Hazel has created a life beyond her wildest dreams. She emphasizes the importance of changing your self-talk, focusing on what you want, and being a pushing angel for others.
