Whenever we hear the term ‘peer pressure’ we tend to think of it in a negative sense but peer pressure can be just as much a force for good. I experienced some positive peer pressure a couple of mornings ago.
I really didn’t feel like getting up early but I knew that a friend of mine was waiting around the corner ready to go for a ride. I dragged myself out of bed and got organised before grabbing my bike and cycling off into the sunrise. We managed to fit in around 37 kilometres before work as opposed to my normal 6 kilometers. Amazing how much more energized I felt starting the day.
What is it about having someone else involved that helps us to take the steps we know we need to take?
I love riding and the extra kilometres before work always help me feel better about the day but getting out of bed early enough can be a struggle. I wonder what other areas of my life would benefit from having someone keeping me accountable to my goals.
Have you seen the benefits of positive peer pressure? Do you have people who help keep you on target in different areas of life? How has it helped you?

Yup! Peer pressure is nothing bad. It’s how it is use for the good or bad. That’s a very good life example you have showed! Thanks!
