Confidence Building Question:
How to maintain a positive support network?
Answer:
Connect with those close to you, whether they are family or friends, to keep your perspective uplifted. Furthermore, stay away from people or things that make you feel bad.
★ Someone you call a friend may actually make you feel bad, if they constantly make negative remarks, or criticize you.
★ Even well-intended family members who weigh in with their opinions about what you "should" be doing can be destructive to your self-confidence.
★ As you cultivate your own positive attitude and take steps to achieve your goals these naysayers may become more evident. As much as possible, limit your contact with them while you build your self-confidence.
★ Take some time to think about which people in your life really make you feel great. Make a goal to spend more time with people who are supportive and uplifting.
