Developing a support system for yourself is one of the fundamental ways on how to work towards transformation and overcome personal challenges.

When we talk about the support system, we often refer to our family or friends, our therapist, coach, or a mentor.

Although the support of your environment is essential for effective growth, what can you do, personally, to support yourself?

Your support system is a set of rules, tools, or personal commitments and boundaries you develop with yourself. Being aware of what you need the most when facing a challenge or overcoming a toxic trait is an act of self-love that breeds respect.

In today's podcast episode, I will share with you four parts of my support system I developed for a better and healthier lifestyle.

The first part of my support system is scheduling time for reflecting, observing as well as crying. It is the time when I vent when I allow myself to feel vulnerable and observe my triggers and unconscious behaviors in the past weeks.

The second part of my support system is shutting down the noise and developing more trust in myself.

The next part of my self-support to sit with my emotions without trying to change them or make them better.

The last part of my support system is to distance myself from a situation that highly upsets me to think about it, process it, and circle back to talk about it.
