My Supports



Supportive daily factors in my life are based on my relationships. I have a very large family, who are very close to me. First and foremost is my relationship with my fiancé, whom supports me in good times and bad. My relationship with my mother is also extremely supportive, where I can talk to her, and depend on her. Another support is my professional relationship that I have with my boss, who is really more of a mentor to me. If I am struggling with work or even questioning my career path, I can go to her for a real solid, genuine conversation.

The benefits of these supports are invaluable and without the encouragement, guidance, and emotional support my life would definitely be more difficult. Knowing the people around you can bring a sense of security and a sense of pride. Supportive relationships add quality to people’s lives, this enables a sense of trust where relationships help to celebrate good times and help us through the tough times.  Having strong supportive relationships is known to provide emotional help during stressful times, reduce stress, increase life span and give greater levels of happiness, without them life would be more stressful and less enjoyable.
