You may have heard the saying ‘you are the average of the five people you surround yourself with’. A large part of setting ourselves up for success and ‘winning our week’ is introducing productive practices and being mindful of or discarding practices that are less productive and this extends to the people we spend our time with.  

When it comes to relationships, we are greatly influenced by the people around us. In fact, our relationships affect our self-esteem, our way of thinking and our decisions. So, today we want to discuss the quality of our relationships and if they are serving us in a positive way. 

But how often are we actually stopping and looking around at the people we are surrounded by and thinking we need to make changes?

The way we talk to ourselves can be highly influential over how we feel about ourselves and how we behave. The effect can be good or bad depending on whether your self-talk is positive or negative. Self-talk is important because it has a big impact on how you feel and what you do. It can be supportive and beneficial, motivating you, or it can be negative, undermining your confidence. So, today’s blog is about self-talk and how we can ensure we are talking to ourselves in a productive and positive way.
