Who do you surround yourself with?

Real talk my lovely foodies, my inner critic in my head has been very loud the last few weeks.....

It took me awhile to remember that life is going to knock us for a loop every once in awhile. Life is tough and there are no cheat codes like a video game. Lucky for me, I remembered something someone told me awhile back to help me silence that oh so annoying inner critic. It came from my extremely wise best friend who reminds me constantly that I am tough and can handle anything life throws at me. Occasionally, you just need to be reminded. The reason I am getting through the frustrations of the past few weeks is because I surround myself with amazing, positive and empowering people.

​People with positive outlooks on life are more likely to help build you up and help you be positive too. Let's face it life hasn't been all sunshine and rainbows over the last year and half. Positive friends help you reframe situations and change your prospective.

​Having friends that are positive helps to motivate me and stay clear of those downward spirals. We all want to move forward and make healthy choices, friends that have positive outlooks can help guide you towards success.

It has been proven that the more healthy, bright and positive people you are around the more they will influence you. We are all influenced by the people we spend time with and work with the most. This will help you be more of a positive light in your everyday life.
