This morning I talked to John Ogier on 2NSB about networking and how to expand your social circle. But what about the friendships you already have that don't support you?
Discover How To Spring-Clean Your Mates!
Who we are is a reflection of the people we surround ourselves with, but as we grow older and wiser the friends we've had by our sides for years don't necessarily grow at the same rate or in the same direction as us anymore. As friends grow apart it's easy to try and hang on to how things used to be however this can often be detrimental to your own peace of mind as you hang back trying to make an old routine work.
This is a topic that always makes people feel uncomfortable but, regardless of the season, it's important to spring-clean your friends every now and again to make sure your time and attention is spend wisely.
So as we kick-on into Easter, spend a few moments reflecting on the people you spend time with. Ask yourself: -
- Do you spend time with people who don't make you feel good?
- What would a 'Spring Clean' of your friends look like?
- What difference would it make to you life?
