Course overview
Lesson Overview
8.10 – Avoiding Negative Social Influences: Not every social connection supports growth. Negative influences can drain motivation with criticism, jealousy, or constant doubt. Notice how you feel after spending time with certain people—energized or exhausted. Set boundaries with those who discourage you from improving. Spend more time around people who celebrate your effort and care about your well-being. Protecting your mental space helps you stay focused on progress. Positive environments help motivation grow, while negativity can quietly pull it down. Choose your circle wisely.
