In this episode, MaryAnn shares a perspective shift on the concept of being the average of the five people you spend the most time with, and, instead, shifting the focus to being the sum of the five people you allow to influence you most. 

The influences may be intentional, like specific podcasts, or unintentional, like social media feed. But coming to recognize the sources of the 5 people or places that influence you the most is the first step towards living more consciously and intentionally. 

First, bring it into your conscious awareness the who and the what that is currently having the most influence on you.

Second, notice the impact that influence is having on you. Is it positive or negative? What is it creating for you?

Third, decide consciously if you want to allow for this source to continue to be one of your top 5 influencers or not.

Additional prompts:
Who are the 5 people currently having significant influence over me?
How do I feel in their presence?
How do I feel when I allow them to influence me?
What 3 qualities or characteristics would most describe this individual?
Are these qualities or characteristics that I want to develop in my personal life or not? Explain.
Do I want to continue to allow this person to be one of my top 5 influencers?

You are the sum of the 5 people you choose to allow to influence you. Choose them on purpose.

If you would like help upleveling your life this year, or maybe you're recognizing that there are some people in your life that are having an influence on you and you don't know how to navigate it, gift yourself a more fulfilling life this Christmas and come and work with me.
