If you don't have any money, go to a church and say: do you have people who can mentor me? I don't want you to be a person who goes through life with me and supports me. But when I have a care or chronic in my life that I have chosen to help for whatever reason, I have a rule: I'm not going to be more invested than you are.
Feeling like you're going it alone? Dr. John Townsend joins Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen on The Brain Warrior's Way Podcast to share practical advice on building a strong support network. If you've ever struggled to find good friends or mentors, this episode is a must-listen. Dr. Townsend delves into the 'relational nutrients' that are essential for emotional and physical well-being.
He provides a step-by-step guide on how to recruit mentors, coaches, and friends who can help you move forward in life. In a world where it's easy to feel isolated, having a 'life team' can make all the difference. Dr. Townsend talks about how to identify the right people to be part of your support system and how to handle 'chronics'—those who might drain your energy rather than uplift you.
One of his practical tips includes seeking mentorship through community resources like churches, especially if you're on a tight budget. Dr. Townsend emphasizes the importance of mutual investment in relationships. He advises against being more committed to someone else's growth than they are themselves. This episode offers valuable insights into how to right-size your support system, ensuring you have the right people by your side to help you thrive.
If you're looking to enhance your relationships and build a supportive network, tune in to this enlightening discussion. Dr. Townsend's advice could be the key to unlocking a more connected and fulfilling life.
