My Supports


What supports you daily and keeps you fluent and going?

For me, my daily support comes from writing on my grocery list and dancing at least 30 minutes a day. I know you're wondering, how is this supportative? As I mentioned in a previous post, dancing is therapy for me and releases stress. In the moment of dancing, I feel free of the world as my mind is clear at that point and allows me to refresh. As a benefit of dancing, I am able to tone my body muscles and burn unwanted body fat and calories. Without dancing, it would be very difficult to function without it as this is my means of support. I don't think I would be as calm as I am today if dancing did not exist in my life. In addition, writing on my grocery list is very important to me. It allows me to remember everything that I need to buy for that particular month. I started this because it was a habit for me to walk in the store and immediately forget most of the things that I am suppose to buy. To keep from doing this, I began to make a list and write down things that I need as I go on with my daily routines. From that point on, I haven't had any problems with forgetting items whenever I go shopping. Without this list, I would continue to walk into the store and forget what I need and will have to make an extra trip back to the store. Gas is too high for that right?

Support is definately needed when challenges occur. For instance, finishing a masters degree is a challenge but I would hope that my family and friends will continue to support and encourage my efforts. Even now, they remind me that all hard work pays off and if you want anything in life, you have to accept the challenges that comes along with it. Positive vibes and words of encouragement are benefits to have as it pushes you to accomplish your goals for success. Without this support, it would be very difficult to execute my full potential and will not have the motivation to flourish and prosper.

Having support is a vital tool in life. As you can see, support doesn't have to necessarily be a person, it can very well be your favorite skill or an object.
