Manifesting Tip: Personal Support Teams Are Important!

In business we all know how important building a good support team is.  In our personal lives however, we often discard this and find ourselves surrounded with people who are unsupportive, or worse who actively try to thwart our efforts. 

It is important - critical even - that we have a great support team in our personal life!

People who support us will inspire and motivate us and help us move forward toward our goals.  They will listen when we need an ear and call bs when we need a swift kick.  These are our true friends and the more of them we have surrounding us the more successful and happier we'll be.

So how do you build a support team? 

From a Law of Attraction standpoint, the first step in building a great support team is to ask the Universe to bring those people in.  It doesn't have to be specific and you don't have to name names.  Just decide you want more supportive people in your life, send out the request and let the Universe take care of the details.

Also, understand that sometimes support comes from the most unlikely sources.  Yes you may meet a great new friend but it could also be that the cashier at the grocery store says just the right thing at the right time to give you what you need.  So the second step is to be open to support where ever it comes from. 

Third you need to let go of needing support from a certain person or place.  Some people just don't have it in them to be supportive and no amount of you wanting them to will make it so.  Go ahead and love them and include them in your life...simply don't talk to them about certain things or look to them for support.

And finally, give yourself support.  Practice positive self-talk and become your own greatest cheerleader.  Reward yourself for positive steps taken and be sympathetic when you have a bad day.  As you do so you'll find that your confidence rises and you'll find yourself more self-supporting and less in need of outside encouragement.
