Asking For Help Without Shame
Asking for help is difficult for many of us, including me. I have lived my entire life as the person who gives …
giving of myself, my time, my belongings, my friendship, and more.
What happens though when life changes?
Perhaps you suddenly hit a roadblock or fall into a difficult situation.
- You or your spouse lose your job and are having difficulty finding another one.
- You are barely able to feed your family
- Bills are piling up
- A family member gets sick or there is a death in the family
- Once healthy habits are failing and unhealthy ones are setting in
- You begin to regain the weight back you had once lost
Brené Brown gave a TED talk on vulnerability, in which she said,
“Vulnerability is the core of shame and fear and our struggle for worthiness, but it appears that it’s also the birthplace of joy, of creativity, of belonging, of love.”
