A lot of friends have been venting to me lately about things that are frustrating them. You know what? I love it. I love that people feel comfortable opening up to me, and sharing what’s going on in their lives. These are friends from all over the country, too. Some I’ve known for most of my adult life, others I’ve met through CrossFit or from them following my blog.
After a second person shared a story about how a friend has let them down time and time again, a third person talked about how they felt competitiveness between “friends” had been taken to an unhealthy level in the gym, and yet another person would tell me how they wish they’d get more coaching at their gym, I started to notice a pattern in the advice I was giving.
In the video below I summarize the advice I gave to most of these friends. Here’s the gist:
“Your Vibe Attracts Your Tribe” is a quote I heard from a friend about a year and a half ago. I absolutely fell in love with that sentence.
What it means to me is that most (not all, but most) of the time, we have the ability to make changes to our environment based on our own actions and reactions. Meaning, if someone or something is stressing you out, there are likely steps you can take to either change that scenario or remove yourself from it.
Take a watch and let me know what you think, please. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
