Treadmill Friends VS Sofa Friends
What Energies Are You Surrounding Yourself With?...
You’re probably wondering, what on earth does that mean?
This is an interesting, yet blatantly obvious concept, we have heard George Mack speak about — and wanted to share it with our inner circle…
In essence, it’s all about how YOU feel, once you have spent time with certain people 🤔
After hanging out with…
Treadmill Friends - they make you want to…..jump on a treadmill! (not literally 🫠) You’re motivated. Fired up. You want to better yourself. You may want to exercise? Start a business? Eat more healthily?…the list goes on…you get the picture
Sofa Friends - Now then. After hanging out with these friends, you want to literally sit on the sofa. You want to recover. Your energy’s drained, and you probably are feeling lazy. 💤
This is simple reflection, will let you know whether you have high agency friends or not.
Energy transference
Quite simply, there are people who GIVE energy and those who TAKE energy. It’s a concept we feel, but not always explainable…
Steve Jobs had such strong energy, those around him called it a ‘Reality Distortion Field’
Stories shared at funerals frequently highlight this energy transference:
"He made you feel like the only person in the room."
"People don't remember what you say — they remember how you made them feel"
