Time to be a Cheerleader - Chain of support
You are someone's cheerleader out there - If you are feeling low, down or feel you are comparing yourself a lot to others lets think of the positives :)
Write down any successes you've had as a listener - for example a comment that touched your heart from a service user or fellow listener. You can start big or small; it doesnt matter. Do it non-judgementally.
Rule - Do not look at what others wrote and write the first think that comes to mind - think instinct.
Chain opened:
A new person felt safe in a listener support room

At the end please give one word to reflect how you felt doing this exercise before vs after.

A member told me for the first time ever, they felt seen and my kindness touched them 🩷
Doing this exercise made me remember why I became a listener!
@GoldenRuleJG I love this post. ❤️
Someone recently told me they stay because of friends like me. That touched me. 😀 Because truthfully, it's the people I grew to love here throughout the years that keep me here too. ❤️
