be supportive

I don’t consider this to be a goal which can be “completed”, but I think that I could benefit from letting others know that I support them. I think that my hyper-logical personality can be perceived as overly critical at times—so, I want to keep in mind that I should be more encouraging on a more frequent basis, and when I critique, do it in a way that is considerate of other people’s emotions.

I think I’ve been a very supportive girlfriend in the fact that I am a good listener and I let my boy vent to me a lot. I also think I am encouraging and patient, which helps in being supportive.

I think I’m going to mark this as done. I try to help and support him in all the ways I can think of, and unconsciously too. His wellbeing means everything to me, and I think he knows that.
It is an ongoing goal, something I commit myself to every single day. But it’s not something I need to work on or keep remembering myself of…I do it anyway.

Support is not a one time thing, it has to be consistant, stable and unconditional. You can’t give it because you wish to recieve it, you just have to give it out of love and empathy. The people in most need of support are the ones who at that moment do not have the strength to give it themselves. I will not class this goal as achieved, it is truly an ongoing one, especially right now.

I commit every day to be supportive, but more so now than ever. He really needs support and I’m doing everything I can to give it to him. It’s the most important thing right now.
