Mental Support Group (MSG)
What is it?
A MSG is an imaginary group of supportive people you create in your mind to build confidence and self-worth. They believe in you unconditionally and help you reach your potential.
Why does it matter?
Strengthens your sense of self and identity
Provides constant emotional support
Helps you make decisions and take healthy risks
Always accessible in your imagination
How to build your MSG:
1. Real people you trust completely
Choose people who make you feel emotionally safe
Can be anyone: family, friends, teachers, mentors
Only include people you trust 100%
Few people is totally fine—quality over quantity
You can add or remove people anytime
2. Public figures or characters
People from books, movies, TV, history
Ask yourself: "Would they support me reaching my potential?"
If yes, they're in
3. Imaginary figures
Create your ideal mentor, parent, or guide
Use cartoon characters or superheroes if they help you feel safe and strong
How to use it:
Imagine a special place (beach, cozy room, anywhere comfortable) where your MSG meets.
Have them tell you they're there to support you—no judgment, just belief in you.
Talk to them when you need encouragement, have to make decisions, or face challenges.
Important notes:
Don't judge yourself for doing this—it's a powerful mental health tool
Keep your MSG private or share only with trusted people who'll support the practice
This strengthens your relationship with yourself over time
