Episode 97: Asking For & Receiving Help - Why Is It So Damn Hard?

In this episode, I'm talking about how to ask for and receive help when you need it, without feeling guilty of being a "burden" It is okay to say you can’t do it alone. It is okay to ask for help. It is okay to not have the answers. It is okay if the problem feels bigger than you can handle. When my husband needs help with something, he simply just asks, “hey, can you help me with this?” He doesn’t stress over it for hours, or break his back trying to do it by himself. He simply just asks and accepts. I have always admired this about him. My pattern is quite different. When I need help with something, my default tends to go to, “how can I figure out how to do this all by myself so that I don’t bother anyone or become a burden?” I proceed to try a bunch of different things, huff, puff, stress myself out, break my back, and finally I give in and I reluctantly ask for help. Or, I’ll get asked if I need help and I’ll proceed to say, “no, don’t worry, I got it.” Even though I know full well that I don’t got it! Sound familiar? If yes, this share is for you. I also share some journal prompts so that you can do some self-coaching. Website
