Imagine yourself in a stadium, standing on the field. The stands are filled with people who believe in you. Some are loud cheerleaders. Some show up quietly. Some are from your past, some from right now, and some you may only imagine. Use this activity to notice who is rooting for you and how their support strengthens your path forward.
Create a three-column table with these headers:
Who's in the Stands | How They Support | What to Remember
Think about anyone who has encouraged you, inspired you, listened to you, or helped you stay focused. They might be family, friends, mentors, teachers, coworkers, or people who simply believed in you at the right moment.
| Who's in the Stands | How They Show Support | What to Remember |
|---|---|---|
| My aunt | Sends a good-luck text before tests | I am not doing this alone |
| Erik | Listens when I need to vent | I have someone who hears me |
| My high school teacher | Told me I was capable when I doubted myself | That belief still matters |
| My best friend | Checks in when I disappear into stress | I have people who notice and care |
Save your table where you can return to it. Add new names or memories as you recognize more people in your corner.
Who do you imagine cheering for you, even if they do not say it out loud?
What moments remind you that you have been supported?
How could you keep these people or memories present when things get hard?
You are not moving through this journey by yourself. The people in your stands remind you that support has shown up before and will show up again. Let their belief steady you. Let it help you take your next step with confidence.
