We imitate the habits of three groups in particular: The close. The many. The powerful.
So many times you can improve your life significantly by just changing your social environment.
Join a culture where your desired behavior is the normal behavior.
Surround yourself with people who have the habits you want to have.

Back in 2016, I couldn’t even sit still on my chair for a few minutes, never mind keeping my attention long enough to get my monkey mind to focus on a single task. 🐒
Between bottomless Instagram scrolling and trying to do at least some work here and there, I was spending my entire day staring at a screen.
Yet when I got home in the evening, I felt exhausted and nervous.
And guilty.
Guilty of not having achieved anything.
