I recently wrote about an analogy of how people are like lakes. The color of a lake changes based on the sun and atmospheric conditions.
The takeaway was that the external atmosphere in which people find themselves changes their behavior.
Another angle from which to think about the atmosphere is to think about the internal weather – this came up in a conversation recently.
The person I spoke to shared that they went through an extended period of not feeling like themselves – it lasted four years.
Four years.
It’s crazy to think how long internal weather can sometimes be off.
There were a series of factors that drove this. But they expressed their relief at being able to get out of this funk (with help from a coach) and go back to the better version of themselves from before.
Weather – both internal and external – matters.
