Surround Yourself With Positive People!
You’ve likely experienced how other people can influence the way you feel. When you’re around positive people who believe in you life feels expansive and filled with possibilities. And when you’re around people who are negative and fill you with self-doubt life feels constrictive and hard.
This is evidence that who you spend your time with matters. Need more convincing? Here you go: Studies have shown that the people you spend time with impact your health, mindset and motivation. One happy friend increases your odds of being happy by 15%. Attitudes are contagious. So invest your time creating a positive circle of friends.
- Write down the names of the 10 people you spend the most time with and rate each relationship on a scale of 1-5 (1 being negative and 5 being positive).
- Use this information to decide which relationships you will invest in.
- Choose to build a circle of friends that support you.
“Surround yourself with only those people
who are going to lift you higher.”
