Social connections influence our behaviors, habits and health...did you know that. Did you know, you are 61% more likely to smoke if you have a direct connection to a smoker and at second degree (a friend of your friend) you are still 29% more likely to smoke. While I really am never tempted to ever smoke, even if my best friend smoked, friends do influence us way more than we may realize.
There are all types of stats out there about how they influence us from our happiness to the health of our heart literally. Friends are not just vital to keep us company, without them we are literally putting our life at risk. The support of a friend in the hard times can improve our cardiovascular health and even lower our stress levels. People change us or bring up things we need to change...even the people we don’t even know. My faith leads me to believe that people are placed in our lives for reasons and when we respond to our “hunches” we can change the world... I’ll show you proof of that tomorrow.
