Being supportive and empathetic is all about meeting people where they are at - validating and acknowledging their experience and pain instead of jumping straight to 'making them feel better' or spinning their words into a quick positive.

Sometimes it's terrifying to make the jump, to push ourselves to leap when we are afraid of whether we will land, or fall. But fear is a paralytic and we can stay stuck in our 'comfort' zones. Because they are just that - comfortable!
..
Pain and fear can be a precursor for growth. We can learn so much about ourselves or go past our self imposed limits and for once be more than we think we can be. You'll never know unless you try! ..
Prove yourself wrong today. Try something new. Risk a little. Make some magic.

😱 Ever get caught thinking about the worst case sc 😱 Ever get caught thinking about the worst case scenarios? It's a super common (but unhelpful) thinking habit and can make you feel even worse!

When you notice that you're focused on all the 'what ifs', and making mountains out of molehills, ask yourself this question πŸ€”:
"What's MOST LIKELY going to happen?"

Sometimes this is enough to shift our thinking to focus on what's really going on - instead of all the terrible ideas our brain can come up with!
