Simple Healthy Living Tip #6
6. Keep good company:
You can do all things right, but having relationships with people who have unhealthy habits, can often be an uphill battle. Surround yourself with people who support your goals and the journey, and finding people who commit to take the journey with you, are even better. Get your family and friends involved with your healthy habits to create closer relationships and to increase motivation. Nothing says “I support you” more than committing to the same goals as a loved one (hey, it even creates a little friendly competition). Good company holds you accountable and will help you stay on track to achieving your goals. You deserve healthy relationships, so build them.
Learning to recognize the signs of an unhealthy relationship is the first step to improving the company you keep.
Steps to recognizing an unhealthy relationship:
· Your personal growth can not flourish
· One person has most of the influence over the two of you
· The negatives aren’t turning positive
· You feel worse about yourself
· No support or lack of emotion toward the other person
