Learning to accept help
Throughout my life, I have always wanted to do things on my own. Maybe it was being raised part time by a single mom; she wanted me to be able to be independent. It eventually became a mantra of sorts for me: “No, thanks. I got it,” after being asked if I wanted help. People would be over for dinner and ask if they could help and I’d always said “no, I got it.” I wanted it to seem like I had everything handled. That I was competent and knew what I was doing. For the most part, I did.
8-Week Transformation Package
I have crafted this unique package in order to help others tap into their intuition and ultimately empower themselves.
For many years, I worked craft shows and both set up and broke down my booth by myself, every single weekend — weekend after weekend. Eventually, I burned out to the point of dropping a 25 pound weight on my foot and I found myself determined and told myself: “I will never turn down an offer of help with my booth set up or break down ever again.” People started asking me if I needed help more, and they enjoyed helping me out, supporting me and it felt really good to be supported. I made friends this way and built deeper connections with my fellow crafts people around me.
So I started implementing this rule in other areas of my life. This is where I feel I can help others.
Anytime someone would offer to help me, I’d tune in and ask myself how they could help. If someone came over for dinner and they offered to help, even if I knew I could do it all on my own, I’d give them a task. It made them happy to be helpful too.
More recently, I have been struggling to overcome something that had been bothering me. A friend generously offered her skills and knowledge, but I didn’t take her up on it because I really wanted to figure this out on my own. It was like a puzzle that I had to crack. My stubborn “I can do it on my own” self returned.
The moment I noticed what I was doing, the feeling disintegrated. I laughed at myself, felt a huge sense of relief and I called my friend and took her up on her offer to help me.
I am sharing this because, if you are like me and was raised to have a do-it-yourself sense of independence, then you might have a little of this trait too.
I am a person who has:
Experienced being the independent one not wanting help.
Experienced the feeling of being fully and lovingly supported.
Experienced being the person who can authentically and lovingly support others.
Below are some of the ways I have helped people who:
Want to tap into more love, happiness and joy
Want to upgrade their nervous system so that they can fully receive more of what they are wanting in their life
Want to tap into their intuition and inner knowing
Want to feel better in their body
Want to find their purpose
Want to feel more authentic and clear
