Day Seven:
In the fast paced world we live in, it's easy to feel like we need to do everything all the time and all on our own. We think we should be able to handle every challenge that comes our way and that asking for help makes us weak or incapable. But the truth is, you don't have to face the challenges on your own.
Asking for help doesn't make you a burden. (I know, that sounds fake, but I promise it's true.) This is definitely something that I personally struggle with, so if you do too, I get it. You're not alone. I would happily help anyone who asked me without question (as I'm sure you would)... though when I feel down or am facing a challenge and want to reach out, I stop. I shoulder it alone because I fear being a burden or "too needy" (sound familiar?). However, I would never think that of someone else and those who support you won't either. Letting yourself accept help ties in with accepting love and kindness from those who love you.
Take a moment today to remind yourself you are not alone. You have those who love and support you and it's okay to lean on them. You are valued. You are loved. You are not alone. Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it. Those who love you, will always be there.
