ARE YOU A CHEERLEADER?IF NOT BE ONE!

As a Social Worker, sometimes I just tell people I am your cheerleader. Wanting the best possible outcome in a bad situation. May not win the game of life but will do the best! No one can be happy, happy, happy all the time! But one can look as if there are happy things in life. So what is a cheerleader! Well there are at most sports games. Some squads are actually quite incredible with lifts and flips and pyramids. So no I am not that kind of cheerleader, I would hurt myself! Just the kind that honours and listens to the problems in the day. Find the right resources for the person. Smile. Acknowledge. Check in! Families have cheerleaders. The favourite aunt or uncle. The favourite family friend. The neighbour that gives a little! Sometimes just being there when needed. So are you a cheerleader? Or do you need one? What are your thoughts?

THE CHEERLEADER

We all need champions in our lives. Someone who just supports us and says job well done. Keep going, you're doing great. Nice to have you in my life. Recently, I encountered a person that was a mentor to me in my early career. Loved his style of managing a difficult moment. Questioned in a supportive manner. Good energy. Some days I hope to be that person to other people. But sometimes the negative energy around me makes it quite difficult. So I try to become my own cheerleader. Calm your energy, it's not personal, step back and listen to the other person- there's more than one point of view. I was a cheerleader in High School. Then I could do a high kick into the splits- well if I tried that now I would hurt something- very badly!!!!!!! Are you a cheerleader? Did you have cheerleaders in your life? Do you find cheerleaders annoying?
