Surrounding Yourself with the Right People Matters

Did you know that your brain connects to other people's brains? Check this out. Ever notice how hard it is not to cry when you see someone else crying? The reason why is because there's neurons in your brain called mirror neurons. Your brain will mirror somebody else's neurons, mimic them and then you will feel what they are feeling. This is why you have to be very diligent about surrounding yourself with the right people because in psychology this is called emotional contagion. If you surround yourself with negative people who are lazy and complain all day, taking action will be really really hard. Negativity can be contagious and stress can also be contagious. Sadness can be contagious but if those are contagious, could good emotions also be contagious as well? Of course if you surround yourself with driven people who look at the bright side of things and take action it will be easier to be motivated and take action towards the life that you want. So be very careful of who you surround yourself with because you'll start to become just like.
