Supportive communication involves care, empathy, and encouragement, and is crucial for coping with difficult emotions.

We all want to be there for our friends when they're going through a tough time, but sometimes we just don't know what to say. Well, according to a study by the APA (American Psychological Association), the key to being a supportive friend might just be mindfulness!

Here's what the study found:

  • 🧠 Mindfulness, which is all about being present and aware of your thoughts and feelings, can improve your social skills and make you a better communicator.

  • 🗣️ The study tested the impact of brief mindful interventions on social skills, communicative coping skills, and reappraisals (which is just a fancy way of saying how you interpret and respond to situations).

  • 🤝 The results showed that mindfulness can improve all three factors, making you more supportive and empathetic in your communication with others.

So, next time your friend needs a shoulder to cry on, try practicing some mindfulness beforehand. You might just surprise yourself with how supportive and understanding you can be! 🧘‍♀️🤝
