The Power of the People Around You

Most of us are familiar with the expression “show me your friends and I’ll show you yourself”. Many of us heard this phrase growing up from our parents or teachers while being scolded for acting out or a wrongdoing that they assume was influenced by our peers. As much as we didn’t want to admit it back then, this cliché expression held a lot of truth, and it still does in our adult lives, energetically speaking.

The energy of those we surround ourselves with daily affects us greater than most realize. When we spend enough time with others, we sync up to their energetic frequency. This is why it is so important to consider the mindset and energetic outputs of those we choose to spend our days with. A person who is always transmitting negative thoughts and patterns into the world is never going to be able to lift us up. Someone who is not capable of viewing the world objectively is never going to be able to assist or guide us through our own times of indecision and trouble. Those who ooze pessimism and blame the world for their circumstances are bound to rub off on us. Though it can be difficult, setting boundaries and protecting our energy from people like this is vital for our well-being and prosperity.

On the other side of those difficult boundaries, however, there is magic to be discovered when we encounter those who have the opposite energetic output. The people who beam with positivity and a healthy mindset. The people who offer a helping hand and a subjective, truthful outlook when we need it. Those who pick us up when we’re down and bring us to dance in the rain when it feels like the world is pouring down on us. These are the people we need to fill our circles with. These are the people whose energetic frequencies we need to get on. Friends who show us the way to the light when we feel the darkness creeping in. Friends who make us feel safe enough to allow our truest selves to dance freely around them without fear of judgement. Friends who support the pipe dreams and deepest hopes within us.

These beautiful souls are a blessing in this life. They have the power to change our outlooks and mindsets for the better. When we’re on a personal growth journey, it is important to surround ourselves with those who help us through and inspire us along our transformative path. Friends with goals and positive thoughts of their own are key to keep us going with our own manifestations. When we are surrounded by negativity and lack of inspiration, we succumb to those lower vibrational thoughts and habits. To remain on a positive wavelength and maintain the course of a self-love journey, we need a tribe that embodies those same values. The people around us will either lift us up or drag us down without even trying, whether we notice they are or not. Choose wisely with your tribe, your energy is too precious to sacrifice.
