Objects tell us which role to occupy. They change our perception not only of the environment but of ourselves. Whether on the athletic field or in our office, objects remind you who you are and why you’re doing it. We can invite the role of writer, runner, teacher, or student to be open to learn and grow. Or we can invite roles that make us feel defensive and under threat. We can use this to turn us into a fierce competitor or someone with road rage who lost their mind. Rig your environment wisely.
