Welcome to November 2026, the month of Encouragement.
Encouragement is the act of inspiring hope, confidence or courage in someone through positive reinforcement and emotional support. It focuses on a person’s effort and growth rather than just their final achievement by helping them to build inner resilience .
Resilience is the ability to recover, bounce back, or adjust easily to misfortune, change, stress, or trauma.
Encouraging a person, which is Well meaning support, can sometimes become burdensome and feel like excessive pressure into achieve something. Encouragement can become toxic positivity when it misguides someone towards harmful goal or enabling destructive behaviors.
This month we together and individually, are going to implement acts of Encouragement to the people around us, through words and actions. Remember to focus on their effort and growth rather than just their achievement.
Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an Encouragement to those who hear them. ‘
You are blessed and highly favored.
