Are the people in your life helping or hurting your progress?

Family, friends, co-workers, the strangers you follow online…everyone in your orbit impacts your journey. Take time to think about who you let in.

Let’s dive a little deeper…

It’s easy to get into a routine of hanging out with the same people, streaming the same podcasts or TV shows, and scrolling the same social media accounts without thinking much about their impact. But we’re like sponges; we soak up others’ words, ideas, pictures, messages, tone, and more. And all that can influence how we feel and think and eventually what we do.

Taking a step back to notice who makes it easier to do things that support your goals and who makes it harder allows you to see and make changes that could help you be more successful. We’re not saying you should cut loved ones out of your life. It’s about prioritising time and attention to those who help you stay on track—e.g. the friend who loves trying healthier restaurants versus the one who always nixes your lower-Points app suggestions. Those are the people you want riding shotgun on your journey.
