Fit Tip: Attracting the right types of people into your life: Part 3

Now it's time to put all of the pieces together, if you've been participating in this wellness assignment. You have previously listed qualities you see in those who surround you most, such as co-workers or friends. You have listed your own most prominent qualities and characteristics. Now, let's compare. Do the qualities you see in others mirror or reflect the qualities you see in yourself?

Do you see any comparisons? Do you like the comparisons that you see?

I'm sure you've noticed in your life, that people come and go. That is for a reason. Some people stay. Each person in your life is there to teach you a lesson, or make you a better person for knowing them.

If your qualities and characteristics are not matching, then it's time to start focusing on your true values. What matters most to you. What qualities matter most to you. If you are not practicing those qualities that matter most to you, then you will never attract those qualites from others. It's just how the world works. If you value compassion in others, yet find that you are often uncompassionate, then you'll find it hard to find others who are compassionate. Maybe someone will come into your life to teach you a lesson, or help you to become more compassionate. This applies for any and all traits.

If you want to attract people who value fitness into your life, you must first begin to value fitness. If you want to attract honest people into your life, you must first become an honest person.

Like attracts like. Try it.

Fit Tip: Attracting the right types of people into your life: part 2

So, now that you've created a list of character qualities in those people who surround you most each day, it's time to take a look at yourself.

Look objectivley at your own life, or beter yet, have someone else write down characteristics and qualities they see most in you. Sometimes it's hard to see the good and/or bad qualities we most posess. (Don't forget, that EVERYONE posesses ALL qualities to certain extents). Which qualites about yourself pop off the page. List your qualities in order of most prominent. ie, if your most prominent characteristic in life is that you're a great listener, then that should be #1 on your list. If you find that you are often jealous, then that quality should be near the top of your list, and so on.

Stay tuned for part 3.

Fit Tip: Attracting the right types of people into your life: part 1

It's time to take a look at those who surround us every day. Are they enriching our lives? Are they hindering our growth? Are they helping us grow, in all ways, as a better, happier, more loving person? Let's break it down, with a small assignment, or "homework" as I call it with my clients.

First and foremost, I want you to write a list of 10-15 character qualities that are in the people who surround you most. You can focus on your co-workers/business parnters, or family and friends. Looking objectively at these people, what character traits do they have. Are they loving? selfish? jealous, caring? etc? Make this list. This is your first assignment.

Stay tuned for the next step!
