What is a support system?

A support system is someone you can turn too in need of Support whether a Family Member, a Friend, Boyfriend/Girlfriend, Husband/Wife, 7cups, etc no matter who it is these are just many examples.

Importance of Developing a Support system

The importance of it is so you have someone you can turn too in time of need if you ever need to talk to someone while in your lows etc it is very useful t have at least a few you can rely on for support.

The goal of social support is to decrease stress. If you are looking to decrease stress by developing a support network, start with people who are already in your life. You may want to make a list and determine who is healthy and positive and who is not. You may want to limit contact with the negative people in your life. Negative people can drain your energy and bring you down. Watch for these types of people who may be negative: blamers, liars, alcoholics, drug abusers, and those who put you down. Your time and energy need to be invested in those who make you feel good about yourself.
