Your Personal Chi with Feng Shui: You are who you surround yourself With

I had a client from Centerport Long Island NY recently ask, "Do the people you hang out with affect who you are? Think about the answer to this question with this statement, "you are what you eat." The types of food you choose to eat to fulfill your bodies need for proper nutrition will affect your bodies building compounds on the physical level. If your always eating fast food, preservatives and junk.. your body will become out of balance which will start a negative snow ball affect in other areas of your life.

This is the same for the type of people you choose to "hang out" with.  The individuals or groups of people you spend time with affect you greatly.  One of the most important factors determining the quality and path of your life is the people you surround yourself with.  It will be in your benefit in all aspects to spend more time in good company and less time in bad company.  Be sure to allow mentor like individuals, supportive, fun, loving, caring...all positive influences into your life.

These are the types of people that will help you grow and cultivate your "Chi" and who you are or want to become

Before I even was aware of Feng Shui, I could tell how my home felt after I had had company...it was either a positive or negative feeling in my home after people had been there.  I am as careful about the atmosphere, location, postions of things in my home as about the people I invite in.  You must consider that...think about it...they will leave a lasting impression in your home long after they are gone.  Nice post.

Laura - I think you are absolutely right about choosing carefully those who you surround yourself with.  It can really bring you down if you are with negative or destructive people.  There energy will zap your own.

Hi Laura~  We are definitely affected by those we hang out with!  Our attiudes are influenced and sometimes it take us a while to realize it!

Your enviornment and the friends you chose to hang with truly affect everything around you.  Isn't that what we tell our teenagers, we need to listen to this and heed our own words!!!

Surrounding ourselves with positive people is what we have to do. Negative people will bring us down even when we donot realize it.

Negativity breeds negativity. It's important to surround yourself with positive people if you want positive results.

Laura~ 

I agree...as you wrote, " The individuals or groups of people you spend time with affect you greatly.  One of the most important factors determining the quality and path of your life is the people you surround yourself with."

I'm convinced that I'm affected by people I hang out with!  I have a couple of friends that tend to be a little negative from time to time.  When I get a bout of over-zealous exhuberance, I call them for grounding. . .LOL

Suzzane, it is so true, if you are really in-tuned with energy sometimes just being next to them can affect you, I have had that plenty of times. sometimes they would have such a Strong pull I would have to take a step back and take a deep breath in :)

Joan, over the years I had to "release" many friends at times because of life situations they were going through...the more I tried to help the more drained I became.  Eventually they came around and now we are back together :)

Vickie, oo yes this is so true, it's as if you begin to take on the traits of those you "hang" around, if good great...but if bad..you need to move on...fast!
