Part of the Relationship Dynamics Wheel

What is Uplifting?

Your presence helps the other person believe in what is possible for them. You have a way of reflecting their strengths back to them when they have lost sight of those strengths themselves. Being uplifting is an active choice to amplify someone's confidence rather than diminish it.

When you might feel uplifting

Uplifting is a specific form of encouraging, which itself is a type of supportive. You might experience this feeling in situations where supportive is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define uplifting.
