Hello Everyone & Welcome Back to the RealPositiveGirl Podcast!
Thank you so much for joining me again!
Happy Monday!
This week's theme for the podcast is: How to be Supportive
This week we are going to speak about how you can be a really great support person for someone else in your life. This could also help you identify whether or not you are getting the support you want from others in your life supporting you.
Join me in going over these tips on how to be the best supportive person!
Here are some notes from today's episode:
- Being supportive is one of the best things you can do for someone else. It will also help you learn how to move through hard emotions.
- Let’s talk about what it generally means to be supportive & later in the week we will talk about how to be supportive in different ways.
- The basic idea of being supportive is helping & assisting someone else. It can also be someone that provides emotional support & encouragement.
- One of the biggest traits about someone that is supportive is their ability to accept people as they are & makes those around them feel safe & comfortable.
- The general characteristics of supportive people tend to be: integrity, caring & congeniality.
- But one important piece of being supportive is the need for also being realistic.
- It’s necessary to realize that you can’t always be the yes man to someone. You need to be supportive & helpful, but also honest & down to earth with your perspectives & truths.
- There is nothing helpful about encouraging someone to continue on the path they are on, even if it’s painful & destructive or pushing them to make a decision that will reap regret & trouble in the future.
- You need to be mindful of what you’re supporting & if it isn’t in line with what you know they want or what would be the best decision to make, you have to have the confidence to speak up & give them guidance, in addition, to support.
- And lastly, it’s important to know that your support of others can be depending on what the relationship is. Being supportive of your close friend will be different from supporting your spouse than supporting your sibling. You might be able to be even more candid with those you are closer to & might need to keep a little more space with others.
