One of the biggest lessons I learned was the value of hanging out with the right people. I’ve been blessed that mostly the people who made their way into my life have been kind and supportive people.

Everyone Needs to Vent

I get it. Every one of us needs to vent once in a while. But have you been around someone who just couldn’t find any ray of sunshine in his or her life?

It’s not they are not good people, but it’s not healthy to be around such people because you can absorb some of their energy and it can make you feel suddenly nervous and anxious.

How Do You Deal With It?

Limit and minimize your interaction with this person. I have had a co-worker and actually a friend or two who do this. I deliberately limit my communication with these people. I have found myself feeling overwhelmed just after a brief conversation.

Surround Yourself With People Who Help You Realize Your Highest Potential

I live by this every day and I can see the profound difference it has made to my personal success. I am happier and feel more peaceful. My friends are moving forward in their lives with beauty and flow.

Every day, I find myself working towards my purpose because I see my friends are doing the same. I can see their magic dust is rubbing off on me.

Friendships are a huge part of my life. I can’t imagine what my life would be like without my close-knit circle of friends. Do you have friendships that support and nurture you? Do you have friends with whom you can discuss any topic under the sun?

Grow and Deepen Your Friendships

It’s vital you have friends who you can lean on for support and guidance. Just like any relationship, you need to nurture your friendships. Think of it this way: When you grow a plant, you first plant the seed into the soil. Then, you let the sun shine its rays over the plant and also water it. If too much sun or water is showered on the planet, what happens? The plant is overwhelmed and won’t grow.

If you don’t allow enough sun or water, then the plant withers away. Friendship is the exact same way! Don’t let your friendships be overwhelming or wither away. Give your friends space, but also give time to grow and deepen your friendships.

Spend Time with Your Friends!

Allocate time from your busy schedule to your friends. Spend time with them and listen to them. Be sincere and care. People will do the same.

What are the benefits of deepening your friendships?

• Helps you deal with challenging experiences
• Makes you feel happy and more connected
• Boosts your immune system since spending time with friends releases positive emotions
• Develop a support system where you can be your authentic self
