The environment that we are directly affects moods, thoughts, work, life, play, and prayer. It has a direct influence on your heart, beliefs, feelings, values, culture, expectations, and behavior. That is why we are commanded to guard our heart. Some environments can be avoided.
Investing in making sure God is a part a of your environment leads to a better quality of mental, emotional, and spiritual balance. If you want to improve your quality of life, then you have to improve your quality of thinking. The best way is by protecting what you allow into your mind and heart. Claiming responsibility over this can be hard, but it is the only way to bring about the change you desire for your life.
Guarding your heart guards your joy. You are very conscience of what enters your mind and what you swell on. You have the choice to replace every negative thought with true, pure, lovely, and excellent thoughts. You have the power to change aspects of the culture around you. You can be a leader or follow like sheep never finding true joy.
What you feed your mind (TV, books, social media) directly affects your character. If you want to be like Jesus, then you have to invest more time in the Bible and prayer than you do in the world. To maximize your joy, you must be selective on what you allow into your mind. What you feed your mind will come out of your heart seen in your actions and words.
