22. Surround Yourself with the Right People

“Are you letting the thoughts and opinions of somebody else stop you from doing things that you enjoy?” asks host Dr. Andrew. If you’re a person who is passionate about self-development, then it’s vital to surround yourself with the right people. Today, Dr. Andrew stresses the importance of spending time with positive influences who encourage you to lead a healthier lifestyle and chase your goals.   As Dr. Andrew has gotten older, the more he’s realized the value in having relationships that contribute to stress management and challenge you to be better and better. If you have people in your life who prohibit your progress, it’s ok to rethink who you see on a day-to-day basis. Of course you should keep the relationships that matter, but allow yourself to have the daily influences needed to grow.   Tune into this week’s episode of The Code for a direct conversation on the power of positive influences. Learn more about limiting negative relationships, the benefit of friends who challenge you, and why you have to prioritize your needs first.   Quotes • “Are you letting the thoughts and opinions of somebody else stop you from doing things that you enjoy?
