Social media trends spread rapidly, going from obscurity to ubiquity overnight. The latest example is the “Very Demure, Very Mindful” meme, which began on TikTok and swiftly took over other platforms. The trend was sparked by beauty influencer Jools Lebron.
She shared a 40-second TikTok video, where she showcased a polished makeup look and described herself as “very demure, very mindful.” of the people around her, specifically her colleagues and the general public. Here’s how you can make sure that your community is very demure, very mindful, it drives you to success and not away from it:
Harness the Energy of Your Support System
Let’s get straight into it…Here is a scenario: Imagine telling a friend or family member that you want to buy your first property, be a property investor and be wealthy, and they laugh and give you a thousand reasons why it wouldn’t work out, not very mindful right? or imagine telling them and they actually give you all the motivation you need that it’s possible, very demure!
The truth is your circle is built around your values and belief systems, you pour into them and consequently they pour into you. They have a significant impact on your life through social contagion and pendulum synchronization. Your circle of friends, family, and acquaintances can either lift you up or bring you down faster than a bad case of food poisoning.
Cultivate Your Environment
Think of your circle like a garden. You wouldn’t want to plant toxic weeds next to your prized roses, right? The same goes for the people in your life. Surround yourself with positive, uplifting individuals who support your dreams and goals. After all, who needs a Negative Nancy or a Debbie Downer raining on their parade?
Choose Quality Over Quantity
It’s not just about having a group of friends either. Quality over quantity, my friend. It’s better to have a few close confidants who truly have your back than a bunch of fair-weather friends who only show up when it’s convenient for them or dumb down your dreams. Surround yourself with people who challenge you to be better, who inspire you to reach for the stars, and who make you laugh until your sides hurt. Surround yourself with people who always see your potential even when you don’t. People who believe you can go for it against all odds.
Avoid Vampires
Be wary of those energy vampires who suck the life out of you with their constant drama and negativity. People who limit your mindset to theirs and constantly step on your flowers. Walking the journey to success with the wrong crowd is liking hiking with stones in your shoes. It will cause discomfort and hinder your progress. Buying your first property is a journey you need to walk with the right people.
Surround yourself with people who believe in your property journey, bring you closer to your dream and nurture your dream. Surround yourself with the Teach Me About Property community. We are very demure, very mindful.
