I have spent the last hour sitting in a coffee shop working on a stress management book. (Should be done in the next 6 weeks, stay tuned.)
One of the suggestions I am making is to choose the people you spend your time with carefully. We are affected by the people around us, for both better and worse.
Somewhere along the way I was introduced to the concept that we are the average of the 5 people we spend the most time with. Not really a fact, but an interesting thought.
I know I am more likely to be happy when I am around people who enjoy life and visa versa.
That is case right here, right now. One of the young women working at this coffee house is simply effervescent. She is just bubbling with joy.
As I approached the counter and ask how she was, she bubbled, “Awesome!”
When one of her co-workers was spotted outside the window she rushed out to give here a hug.
When the mailman walked in she screamed, “Hello safari mailman!” referring to his hat. Causing a laugh from the staff and a big smile from the mailman.
You can’t help but to be in a good mood with this young woman in your space.
How are you affecting the people in your space?
