Welcome episode 4 of the living your ideal weight podcast!
This topic is a very important one and it’s one you will hear from tonnes of people in the personal growth space but it applies heavily to any part of your life.
The campfire effect basically the people around you will have the largest impact on your life.
If those people are positive or negative, moving towards their goals or have no goals, spend like crazy or invest, live a healthy lifestyle or don’t the thing is you will end up somewhat like them.
People also refer to this as you are the sum of the five people you hang around.
The first time I felt this effect was 4 years ago I joined a business coaching group for fit pros called game changer. It was an absolute game changer for myself and Elise.
We sat down in a room of people who were further ahead then we we were. Who were older then we were but all had a general direction of wanting to grow their business, help more people, have more freedom and make a living.
The conversations were different the ideas were flowing and it was an amazing opportunity to really shift think fit from a hobby to a business.
Now why am I talking about this? It applies to every area of your life. The behavioural change pyramid has environment as one of the foundations of change.
This is because if you take someone out of their environment like the biggest loser you will usually see good results. There isn’t any external influences and they can focus on what they need to with the right support.
This is why you need to become part of a group to help yourself move forward.
To be surrounded by the right people and to make sure you know what to do next.
If this isn't available the best thing to do is to modify your environment remove foods or anything else that may impact what you do.
Get a coach who can support you and give you the right information at the right time. Even god information at the wrong time can be bad information.
Next start listening and reading material that will move you towards your goals.
Remember who you hang around matters! If you need help in the health and fitness domain we can certainly help you out just touch base on one of our socials and we can figure out an action plan.
