Asking for help

"If you're not used to allowing compassion in to yourself, accepting help feels uncomfortable."

Accepting help can be hard. Doing everything on your own is harder.

It’s especially hard to ask for help for perfectionists, caught up in all or nothing thoughts about how they must manage everything, always be strong, never show cracks in the facade. Always carry things for others, not letting them carry things for you.

In this short solo episode I will tell you how a broken toe is a sign that I need to accept help, and even ask for it.

In my book, The Lasting Connection, I talk about the five As of allowing compassion to flow in, from others to you.

The five A’s: Aware, Acknowledge, Accept, Appreciate, Ask

Drop me an email to [email protected] to receive a free copy of my worksheet about the five A’s of allowing compassion to flow in.
