As human beings, we can have many opinions about the things we are influenced by. Factors such as the people around us, the media, environmental conditions and our personal experiences are important factors that shape our thoughts and behaviour. In this blog post, I will provide information on how to recognise and manage these influences.

Firstly, let’s start with the influence of the people around us. The thoughts and behaviours of people close to us, such as family, friends and colleagues, can have a big influence on us. For example, a family member’s health-related habit may lead us to adopt similar habits. Or elements of popular culture in our circle of friends can influence the way we dress or the way we speak.

The influence of the media cannot be ignored. The information and news we are exposed to through media such as television, internet, social media and newspapers can shape our world view and our perspective on social events. It is important to question the accuracy of the information provided by the media and to obtain information from different sources in order to balance the influence of the media.

Environmental conditions are another factor that affects us. Factors such as the climate, geography and economic situation of the place where we live can determine our lifestyle and needs. For example, a person living in a cold climate may make different clothing choices than someone living in a hot climate.

Our personal experiences have perhaps the strongest influence. Past events and experiences largely determine our future decisions and reactions. Positive or negative experiences play an important role in the development of our personality.

As a result, understanding and managing our influences increases our self-awareness and helps us to make more informed decisions. It is important to be aware of these factors and to evaluate them critically in order to gain more control over our own thoughts and behaviour.
