“Nothing, however, delights the mind as much as loving and loyal friendship” Seneca
When embarking on a lifestyle change it’s really important to make sure that you have the right people around you to support and sustain you. They might not mean to, but some people will try to sustain your old behaviours that you are trying to move away from. Sometimes they will even sabotage your efforts to change. Take a moment to consider which friends, family members and work colleagues can help to sustain your motivation. Who can you talk to when you are feeling fed up? Who will help you to cook a healthy meal? Who will go for a walk with you when it’s cold and dark outside? Conversely, take a moment to consider which friends, family members and colleagues might be hindering your efforts. How are you going to invest in those relationships that will support you? How can you move away from those relationships that won’t enable you to become the person you want to be?
