Choose carefully who gets to influence your life
The Edventure Truth: “Not everyone should have the same grip on your rope.“
Imagine your life as a long rope and you’re in the middle holding it.
Everyone you allow into your life holds that rope somewhere along the line.
Your closest relationships stand nearest to you, and have the strongest grip.
So ask yourself: Are they helping you move forwards or holding you back?
Conscious Connections means becoming intentional about the people you surround yourself with, the influence you allow them to have, and the influence you have on them.
It also means recognising that boundaries aren’t selfish.
They’re resourceful.
Because what you choose not to give your time and energy to determines what you can give it to instead.
This rope analogy, intentional curation of influence, boundaries and the importance of your relationship with yourself are all central to the original element.
This element’s Challenge Card…
Test yourself, test those around you…
