HELP, HELP - I Need Your Help!

HELP, HELP - I Need Your Help!
Do you have an issue with asking “I need your help”? Do you consider it to be something that shouldn’t be asked? Why we refrain from asking, where we need it is a mystery to me.
Not asking for help when you need it makes your life more difficult. I guess that most of us believe that asking is a sign of weakness, a sign of dependence, embarrassment for needing assistance, and some may even feel that they can do it all alone and succeed without the ’bother’ to involve anyone else and of course they feel that they should really be self-sufficient. This belief gives enough reason to not reach out when we need help, or even when it is in our best interest.
It is obvious that we all need help at times and that there is nothing wrong with asking for it. Asking could save you time as well as headaches, a whole lot of emotional stress, and have you ever thought that it may help others too?
= release the need to be in Control - don’t we all quite often resist asking for help as we don’t like the feeling of not being in charge? If you think about it properly, all you need to do is release your need to be in control and I am sure that you realise that you can reach out for help when it is needed.
= Have you thought about letting go of your negative feelings about needing help. It is perfectly OK to ask for help and it is OK to not ask for help. By feeling that you have a choice it makes it easier to do what is right and best for you.
= There is no reason why you have to apologise or even make excuses. Simply talk about your issues directly. Explain how you feel, explain the situation and also the help that is needed. At times to simply allow someone else to listen to you, or just be there for you is exactly what you require at the time to break through emotionally or to deal and solve a problem that has been bothering you for some time. And maybe your issues seem different when they are shared and it may even help you to interpret it all differently. That’s worth considering, don’t you think?
