7 Reasons for Surrounding Yourself with Healthy People
Our society seems to be saturated with a double portion of extreme "busy-ness," stemming from overworking, overindulging and sometimes over achievement. Unhealthiness can be produced by this busy-ness, causing us to lose our heart, to that which is important for our survival.
Here are seven reasons why staying around healthy people can be a life saver:
1. Edification: Teaching, learning, exploration, and knowledge by building up each other.
2. Empowerment: Positive motivation and support for greater productivity and spiritual development.
3. Encouragement: Helping to overcome obstacles and strongholds in your life.
4. Exemplification: Examples of good character and morals.
5. Exchange: Giving and receiving positive energy flow for greater creativity.
6. Enjoyment: Having fun, being happy and enjoying life!
7. Empathy: Comfort during disappointments, discouragement and grief stricken moments.
Unhealthy relationships can become a toxic disaster with tragic consequences, if you aren't careful! Do not confuse unhealthiness with a momentary bad day experience. Healthy people have to occasionally spit out some unsavory thoughts, situations and emotions that would hinder their physical, spiritual and emotional development. This is a part of life's growing pains. If your mind, body and spirit are not healthy, then your character will possibly emulate the same.
Your circle of influence plays a major role in your habits, spirit and overall lifestyle. Who you surround yourself with now, can greatly affect your destiny. To avoid vanity or bitterness, do not compare yourself with others. You will become a product of your environment, whether it's positive or negative. Junk in - junk out! Surrounding yourself around healthy people and living in a healthy environment, can affect your physical, mental and emotional well-being.
• Healthy begets healthy
• Success begets success
• Happiness begets happiness
Simply put, unhealthiness promotes negativity, selfishness, discouragement, abusiveness, sadness, destruction, constant complaining and ultimately death. Healthy habits yield a healthy return, just as unhealthy habits yield an unhealthy return.
