Do you control or does your environment controls you?

The real question should be whether the environment's influence on individual outweighs individual's will?

Are we expecting an ideal environment at all times? How is that possible?

I would have people complaining to me about their lousy work environment or their bad relationships with their colleagues. My answer will always be, why not assume the problem is yourself and see how you can adapt? Maybe you really hate the micromanaging style of your superiors or your colleagues always like to pin point your mistakes and love to have a say at how you work. Adapt doesn't mean you are in the wrong or choosing to be powerless, but to control how you responds to them.

Revisit your goals in life, revisit where you want yourself to be in another 5, 10 or even 20 years. Have a change in mindset.

Ultimately, if things are that bad that it affects your health, change. Nothing is more important than our health. If it's a toxic relationship, cut it off. If you can't bring yourself to cut the person off, find ways to minimize your exposure to them. I mean work is work, we can stay professional when it comes to project work and keep it at that level.
