What Is Your Support System

Decent Essays
What is your support system? What long-term benefits do you feel this support system has on your life? If you feel you are missing particular networks, feel free to discuss that, as well.
My emotionally supportive network is my family and companions and they are dependably around when I require them or in the event that I call them and that is so gratifying. I have a few companions that I exercise with and we empower one another regardless of the possibility that we do not generally fee like exercising we do it in anyway. I have found that when I work out, I feel better, have more energy and maybe even live longer. Since I started exercising I have shed pounds, my cholesterol is under control and I have been able to keep up the weight reduction

Social support is defined as (Kirst-Ashman, 2014), “a formal or informal linkage of people or organizations that may share resources, skills, contacts, and knowledge with one another” (p. 388).
