How to create a more effective support strategy

Aug 26, 2024

Change is challenging, for all kinds of different reasons. But one thing that can make it more challenging than it actually needs to be is when we insist on going it alone.

Whether you're aiming to improve your health, boost your productivity, or cultivate a new skill, having a solid support strategy can be the difference between frustration and success. 

But getting the people around you to support you in ways that you find supportive can be challenging. Here are some ways to set yourself up for success.

Key Takeaways

  1. Be specific when asking for support from friends and family. Don't expect them to read your mind – tell them exactly how they can help. 
  2. Remember that unsupportive behavior from others is often more about their own insecurities than about you. 
  3. Curate your environment to reflect the person you're becoming. Remove obstacles and add elements that propel you towards your goals.
  4. Seek out people who share your goals and motivations and are actively pursuing the kinds of things you want to incorporate in your life.
