Day 16 of the self-love challenge!
The power of "Asking" for help is powerful and is a BIG part of self-love. We have a tendency to do things on our own and it can be overwhelming if things go sideways. What does waving the white flag do? It's allowing compassion and trust to come in. What does this mean? Asking can be motivating, open up dialogue, create opportunities, and help with day-to-day tasks.
Perhaps your car is at the mechanism and you need a ride to get you to a job interview but you don't want to "bother" a friend or you aren't sure how to do a resume but know of an employment agency that may be able to help.
Asking for help doesn't mean you are weak or that you should feel ashamed. There could be a friend out there that knows you are struggling and has been waiting for the chance to help you!
If it makes you feel better depending on if it's a costly request, can you trade something for working together? Like baking? Making a meal? Or creating something in exchange for the help. Sometimes we need that extra nudge or to lessen the load. Take a moment today to think of what you need assistance with and who can help you out. Even if it's virtual!
You never know where this could lead to! If your person doesn't wish to have anything in return accept this blessing. Many people just like to be a friend and offer that support when needed. This can be foreign to you if you have never had a honest and true person in your life for support.
