Allies in Growth

Whether you’re turning over a new leaf, restarting an old, good habit, or holding the course for your own self-care, there’s nothing more supportive than the accountability and inspiration of a few good allies. That’s why Habitica has guilds and parties, right? This month I’d like you to focus on giving and receiving support! Whether you choose one buddy or work with a whole party, whether you do it on Habitica or somewhere else in your life (online or otherwise), take time to celebrate someone’s small steps and accomplishments. Offer compassion for their stumbles. And let them know that you’re in their corner, whatever life brings! This challenge offers a chance to build social resilience while pursuing your goals.

Daily:

Check in with your support buddy (or buddies). Cheer them on!

To Do:

Choose a support buddy (or several) and arrange how you’re going to check in with each other!

Share a resource with someone who is trying to achieve a similar goal to yours!

Reflection:

My chosen avenue of offering and receiving support for the month was a FB group chat with some people I knew, but not well. It was a lot of fun! We traded encouraging memes, shared uplifting playlists, and celebrated small achievements together. We also spent a lot of time reminding one another to drink water! Community is good for the heart.
