Daily Question, November 4

How am I being supported by others right now?

  • Evie

    My partner, my children, my work mates, my extended family, my friends, my dog, my fitness coach. I’m fortunate to have a group of people willing to listen and love me for who I am.

  • Laura May

    By my loving and understanding partner, my mother and my friends. They are a lending ear when needed, they offer kindness, love and support.

  • Brendan

    Thanks to my brothers and sisters for there support through these difficult times.My way of life has not being good and as I reflect on the damage and the hurt I have caused im blessed to have them.

  • Malag

    My spouse and immediate family are my bedrock, my dog, people I work with, this community, all the people who make this train run that I’m on now, all those who keep the city going, the country, well really the planet. And me. How I am able to live my life is an interdependent thing with so many people.

  • TheLuckiestOne

    My family is so supportive of my husband and I raising our new daughter. I am so grateful for my mother in law, who is watching her while we work, my father in law, who does anything he can to help us including letting us borrow his truck, and my mom and dad who will do anything we need to help us. I have never felt more supported in my life, TBH.

  • Michael G Libby

    The person that believes in me even when I don’t believe it my self at times is my Girlfriend, the others are the professors that show me ways to understand things and instilling in me that I have this and not to give up.

  • Ose
    With unexpected kindness, friends giving space to move on together, as well here in this space where people share patiently to help if needed and possible. Every single thing needed and used for daily living is a support given by countless others. There was once a wonderful article full of love for all which exists, which was published here in the blog area about the extraordinary beauty and sense of communion arising through contributing our individual gift, which everyone carries, in order to ...

    With unexpected kindness, friends giving space to move on together, as well here in this space where people share patiently to help if needed and possible. Every single thing needed and used for daily living is a support given by countless others. There was once a wonderful article full of love for all which exists, which was published here in the blog area about the extraordinary beauty and sense of communion arising through contributing our individual gift, which everyone carries, in order to support recovery and thriving of our Mother Earth in all her dimensions (“Returning the gift”, by Robin Wall Kimmerer). I gratefully feel reminded in this deep issue of the author while reflecting the way I feel supported right now.

    My friends and family check up on me and help me emotionally and in other ways. I always have someone to go to and lean on.

  • Hot Sauce

    My mental health online support group has been a wonderful place for me to go when struggling with mental health issues. When I find myself in a difficult place, I feel like I can go to the group chat and get support.

  • Wiltrud

    I am being supported by close friends, family and doctors who all in their special way help and want me to get better soon and from time to time remind me that even a small step every day is a step forward.
    I am being supported by all those who share their experience and spirituality here.
    Sometimes I think angels are supporting me as well if I only lift my head and look around in wonder.

  • Elizabeth M Jones

    With the Mensa Salis group. I feel spiritually supported in this group.

    I am sitting in a comfortable chair someone designed and made. My boss caught a typo in an email I composed this morning. My dog loves me. My house cleaners came and cleaned everything for me. My neighbors approved building a park not far from my house years ago and I got to walk there a few hours ago. People pay the company I work for in exchange for my professional guidance. I walk around knowing that I am loved and accepted by a great variety of people. Whoever thought to pose this question i...

Whoever thought to pose this question is supporting me right now by helping me feel deeply grateful for all the kindness and help surrounding me.

  • Mica

    I’m supported by the love of my 2 children and my interactions with them. It’s wonderful to be able to say this, after periods of worrying about them.

  • Butterfly

    I am being supported everyday by care workers who come to my home and make sure I am safe and well and make my meals so I have the food I want to eat. The connection I have with them really enriches my life and maybe theirs too?

  • Kat

    My husband who is always, always there for me as best he can be is endlessly patient with me. The universe is sending me so many supports – some obvious and others more subtle/surprising – to guide me along my path.

  • Shaina

    We are supported by others mentally, emotionally, and physically. Others like loved ones are the ones to have your back and feel better about yourself and your actions. They are one who gives confidence and allows people to flourish. Being supported is a big part of life and having that will make people feel better and overall happier. People are willing to take more risks knowing that someone can pick you right back up. Having others to support you can change your life for the better.

  • Antoinette

    We’re always supported by others especially the so called strangers who help us all the time. I’m very grateful for all of the wonderful supportive compassionate people there are in the world.

  • Tom
    The ways I am supported by others is countless. My co-workers are doing their jobs while I am on vacation, the hotel staff is keeping the place I am staying clean and comfortable, the technology I am using to post this has to be up to date and useable...somebody is making sure that happens. Parents are raising children to the best of their ability, teachers are teaching. I am simply being supported by the the entire global community because just like me everyone is doing their best in this very ...
