Activity: Create a Climate of Encouragement

In a culture of comparison, we constantly grade others and ourselves on our performance. The emphasis is usually on what we did wrong, rather than what we did right. Critiques and comparisons can sometimes be helpful, but many times they are more discouraging than encouraging. Instead of critiques, emphasize sincere compliments, honest observations, and positive praise. Encourage others by noticing and complimenting them on their strengths. Be honest, but also be kind. When you can’t say something good, keep your mouth shut. Encourage others to be their best by doing the best you know how to do in every situation. Focus on potential, not just performance. Lift one another up. Be specific about what you admire and why you believe in them. You can create a safe space for people to take risks and try new things. Commit to creating success together. Set goals and chart your progress. Be accountable to each other and be supportive when the going gets rough. If you refrain from criticizing others and see the possibilities in impossible situations, you create a climate of encouragement that lets a loved one know you can be trusted with their dreams and vulnerabilities.
