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.
Ashley,
ReplyDeleteI like that you pointed out our colleagues and bosses as supports (specifically as a mentor). Knowing there is someone you can go to within the field that can help you through difficult situations in a genuine way is truly priceless. I agree that when the people you surround yourself with "bring a sense of security and pride" it positively impacts you both professionally and personally. If you feel good about yourself professionally, it often carries over to your personal life and overall well being.
I agree having a supportive work environment is very important. When you have someone that can offer you honest support and feedback it makes for a happier and healthier work environment. It also helps to make a more productive work place that you are excited to come to every day.
