The opinions of the entrepreneur are expressed.
What happens when you realize where you’re drowning your growth? This question is often in two areas: work environment and places where people live – cities, cities and communities. I have both lived and a great change requires incredible courage and determination. This is not for the weakness of the heart.
Dating for comfort, it’s easy to get acquainted with the order. But if we know that a job or a place is not suitable for us, can we really feel comforting to know this fact? More importantly, what is the value of staying in a place that hit us?
A family friend on Christmas gave me an airstrike. I was told that no water, just a little sunlight, to blossom. Skeptical, I placed our window. The little plant, which is more than two weeks, fought like hell and made two beautiful flowers. However, during the 48 hours, the petals died.
This aircraft reminded me of time in my life when I stay in the right places for me. I survived the prices, I managed to prosper in small ways, just dried quickly. The lesson is clear: people like this plant can not develop in the wrong environment. We can survive for a while, but as a result, to be in the wrong place, it dries the life of us.

The role of the environment in creativity and innovation
When conducting my scientists with a doctor of philosophy, I direct my research to creative personalities and innovations in the workforce. I wanted to understand the dreamers and workers. My research finds that innovation I know is not a single incident, but to find an opportunity, develop an idea, develop an idea, to provide support and ensure support, and as a result.
During this period, I suspected the main role of the environment. In particular, I assumed the risk of discouraging the risk and punished mistakes, stained and punished. I was straight-but deeper than I expected.
Unless an environment clearly dissolves problem solving, solving harsh problems and asking for help, innovation suffers. Everyone who works in a toxic environment knows this instinct. So why does this happen? What is our understanding of ourselves when we are in the wrong place?
My research point to self-efficacy – confidence in our ability to play and create. His effectiveness is deeply closing with innovation. If we do not believe, we will not create new ideas. Our surroundings form this belief significantly.
We can include a new job or society in a confident and skill, but if the energy around us does not support creative efforts, we resist. With time, we begin to doubt our abilities. Upon stopping to believe in ourselves – whenever the surrounding restrictions are strengthening – we stop creating. This is not just a personal loss; Damage to the community. We need creators, especially when their work has made a positive contribution to the world.

Why self-effectiveness is important – and how to form the environment
It affects our self-effectiveness, we think, ourselves and behavior. People with high effectiveness use difficulties, continue through failures and bring new ideas to life. Studies support this: The higher effectiveness improves the work processes, resolves complex tasks and engages in innovative behavior. Innovation often covers the role of self-efficacy, which covers the removal of obstacles.
Although it is clear that the fuel of its effectiveness is innovative, the role of an environment that supports itself in ensuring efficiency is less widely widespread. This was to find the key in my doctoral research: Psychologically supported environment creates the conditions needed for innovation. When people believe they are skilled creative, they continue to work with this mindset. This belief system is important to have courage to aspire to great ideas. Without it, such as the air factory, even the most creative people will end the struggle in the end and will be the shadow of who they are once.

What to do when you realize that you are in a wrong environment
What do we do when we recognize we have become a air factory – struggle to live in the wrong space? Whether our work or lack of community is, it can be a look and awesome and awesome that our surroundings are limited by us. I have close friends who have slowly come to understand that there are professional artists and the supportive of current cities do not have creative energy. They try to understand their next movements – but this is not a simple task. That’s what I have learned from my own experience:
1. The first step of awareness is: Highly controlled people often remain a lot in the wrong place. Over time, they begin to blame themselves and drink themselves rather than perceiving the environment is a weak fit. The first step accepts you are in the wrong space.
2. Be clear in your values: You grow up against where you dried and are the important part of self-discovery. This is highly personal – some people need jointly, fast-paced environments, while others are flourishing in loneliness and silence. It is important to determine where and with whom you are the best job.
3. Operate: The transition to a more supportive environment requires time, courage and determination. It’s easy to withdraw into old patterns so create a plan with the next steps. Share your intentions with your reliable friends or mentors can help you to be responsible for you and can provide very needed support while driving.
The forward progress is not always easy, to recognize the need for change and take intentional steps to a better environment, we are sure we are not just survived.
