Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back, beautiful Souls to another empowering episode of positive Affirmations.
I'm your host, Jessica, and I'm absolutely thrilled to dive
into today's topic. I am a good friend and support
those around me. Think about that for a moment. What
does it mean to be a truly good friend? What

(00:20):
kind of impact do you have on the people in
your life? Do you uplift them, encourage them, celebrate their victories,
offer a shoulder to cry on during tough times. Being
a good friend is more than just hanging out. It's
about genuine connection, empathy, and unwavering support. It's about showing
up for the people who matter most, even when it's

(00:42):
inconvenient or challenging. And guess what. When you cultivate this
mindset of being a supportive friend, you not only enrich
the lives of those around you, but you also unlock
incredible benefits within yourself. Let's explore some of these amazing perks.
One deeper connections. True friendship is built on trust, vulnerability,

(01:05):
and shared experiences. When you consistently show up for your friends,
offering a listening ear, words of encouragement, or even just
a helping hand, you deepen the bond between you. These
connections become sources of strength, joy, and unwavering love that
can weather any storm. Two increased self worth. Supporting others

(01:28):
often comes with unexpected rewards. Witnessing your friend's success. Knowing
you played a part in their journey fills you with
a sense of pride and accomplishment. It reminds you of
your own worth and the positive impact you have on
the world. Free reduced stress and anxiety. Sharing our burdens
with trusted friends can alleviate stress and anxiety. Knowing you

(01:52):
have someone to confide in, someone who truly understands and
cares about your struggles, can make a world of difference.
It creates a sense of safety and belonging, reminding you
that you're not alone on this journey called life. Four
Enhanced empathy and compassion. By actively listening to your friend's experiences,

(02:13):
joys and sorrows, you cultivate empathy and compassion. This opens
your heart to understanding others on a deeper level, fostering
kindness and generosity in all your interactions. Five. A ripple
effect of positivity. Remember that good deeds often have a
ripple effect. When you support your friends, they're more likely

(02:35):
to pay it forward, creating a chain reaction of positivity
that spreads throughout their own circles. Let me tell you
about a phenomenal example. Arianna Huffington, the renowned founder of
The Huffington Post and a powerhouse in the media world.
She started her journey as a journalist, navigating the often
cutthroat world of news publishing with grace and resilience. But

(02:59):
what truly sets Ariana apart is her unwavering commitment to
supporting others. She built a platform that champions diverse voices,
amplifies untold stories, and foster's meaningful conversations. Arianna's dedication to
creating a space where people feel heard and valued has
not only revolutionized the media landscape, but also inspired countless

(03:23):
individuals to pursue their passions and make a difference in
the world. She exemplifies what it means to be a
good friend, supportive, encouraging and committed to uplifting others. And
now let's bring this powerful message back to you. What
can you do today to embody the affirmation I am
a good friend and support those around me. Here are

(03:46):
some actionable steps. Reach out to a friend, send a
simple text, make a phone call or schedule a virtual
coffee date. Just let them know your thinking of them.
Offer a listening ear when someone needs to vent share
their joys, or simply talk things through. Be present and
offer your undivided attention. Listen with empathy and compassion without judgment.

(04:11):
Celebrate their successes, big or small. Acknowledge their achievements, and
express your genuine pride in their accomplishments. Be there during
tough times when life froze curveballs. Be a pillar of
strength for your friends. Offer practical help. Words of encouragement
are simply a warm hug. Remember, even the smallest acts

(04:34):
of kindness can make a world of difference. By embracing
the power of friendship and support, you create a ripple
effect of positivity that extends far beyond your immediate circle.
