Why as humans, are we so deathly afraid of admitting we need help?
It’s as if the damage to our ego will be the absolute end of us.
We like to say men have the biggest egos and are the worst at asking for help, but us women are just as bad 🤷🏼♀️
Call it human nature.
Now, it IS more socially acceptable for women to flat out admit they can’t do it alone; but that doesn’t mean it’s easy.
Maintaining the perfect image of “looking good while doing it ALL” makes it pretty damn hard to admit “hey this is HEAVY, I need some help carrying it.”
You’re drowning in laundry, haven’t showered in days and haven’t felt good about your body in years.
But you suffer in silence.
I remember the first time I ever came out and said “I need help,” it felt like peeling my fingernails back with pliers.
But it was the best thing I ever did, and why I am where I am today.
Having to completely create new habits, acquire new tools and learn how to use them, and undo all the previous damage is hard enough; doing it alone SUCKS.
And it’s so sad when I talk to so many women who are still in the same place they were a year ago, if not even further in a miserable hole.
So, let this be a reminder to you;
It’s OK to say “I’ve tried to do this on my own, and I can’t. I need some help.”
The weight lifted is incredible ❤️
