29 | Giving Yourself Permission to Ask for Help

Apr 3, 2019

Asking for help can be a big step in figuring out what works for you. And for a lot of us, before asking for help, we need to give ourselves the permission to do that. Today’s show talks about how to get clear on why asking help is a hurdle, what to do with that, and how to make to easier, through a variety of ways, to let yourself ask for help.

Small Steps in the Show:

Get clear on why you’re resisting asking for help.
Consider journaling on that to get the root of why asking for help is hard for you.
Journaling questions to ask yourself:
- What is the thought/belief I have?
- Where does that come from?
- Is it mine?
- If it’s not mine, do I want to keep carrying that?
- How has this thought or belief served me?
- How has this thought of belief not helped me?
- What’s the worst case scenario if I let that go?
- What’s the best case scenario if I let that go?
Start to let go
Write/Say/create a post-it of a counter belief to replace the old one
Look into how much the help you need costs and see what options are out there
Ask the journaling questions around a possible resistance around money
Get clear on your current finances to see where you can adjust or if you need to ask for help
See where you can create space for the help you need and consider relistening to Small Steps #27
