Build your Support System

As social creatures we need support as this can help us in achieving a good state of emotional well being. Building friendships and a good support system full of engaging activities is very healthy - allowing people to support us significantly and we can support them as well.

A weekly or monthly activity to socialise - simplest form is calling family or friends or hanging out with them or joining any group programs to get to know new people can help us feel less lonely and supported.

Think about the question below:

• The best thing I want to hear about myself or reassuring/safe things I want to hear from someone I love is _____ (Complete the sentence).

The answer to the question may help you identify those who care about and support you in your life. It’s okay and healthy to rely on support and those around you who seem encouraging and trustworthy. It's said the company we are with has a lot of impact on us, try and surround yourself with positive people
 

Now, here are 2 questions for you to answer:
 

• It can be hard not having a support system, could you describe how your current support looks - what are some things that you would like to see improve in your bond with others?

• The closest person to you is feeling lost and needs some motivation to let go and move forward. Write in this box what you'd say to them and then read it aloud everytime you feel lost and stuck.
