"characterizedby an inability and unwillingness to ask for help or
delegate because of the belief that no one can do it as well as
you can." (Health Book 13) I suffer from this one especially with my fiercly independent nature. So just know sometimes that it can't hurt to ask for a little help. -
"A -- What are you Afraid of? Create an awareness
around what keeps you from asking for help. Is it fear of
rejection? Appearing vulnerable to others? Surrender of
power?
• C -- Let go of feeling you have to Control everything and
that asking feels like giving up that control.
• T -- Learn to Trust yourself enough to reach out and
take a chance that you can trust someone else. (Health Book 14)" -
"Look at yourself using a "third person perspective" and at the
end of the day, objectively review all the times you could have
asked for help and didn't (Health Book 14)" -
"Our expectations become so high that no one else
can meet them and we're burning out because of them." Again this can go hand in hand with self-sufficiency. So take a step back and accept your best.
