Great tips, Melissa! Your mention of setting our health standards by those around us has been something I noticed I fell into. I appreciate your drawing attention to that! ;)
Nice video! Could you address the opposite side of the first point? Like how surrounding yourself by people who are way ahead of where you are can also be detrimental because you may constantly think you are not as good as everyone else even when you're trying your best? As a PhD student in engineering, I have dealt with this feeling a lot, and even though I have developed a healthier attitude to cope with my work setting, I don't believe simply surrounding yourself with high achieving people will automatically make you successful. You still need to develop your own standards that are challenging enough but not too much of a stretch.
Very insightful. It's true. When I go out with friends that don't have any goals to conserve money, I find myself spending money on food and drinks that I normally wouldn't buy if I were just by myself. Is there a way I can still be with them and not do this? Thanks.
You could try leaving your credit card at home. Then only take a set amount of cash with you when you go out. Buy cheaper or less items when you're with them, and eat/drink at a slower pace. Hope that helps!
I just read an article about larks and owls. Research doesn't support the claim that early risers are more successful. Otherwise nice tips. This hair colour suits you very much.
I agree that you can become who you hang around with:)

That does make a lot of sense. I will implement this. Thank you!
You're welcome! :)
