Happy Friday Friends…
I wanted to share something with you that’s been rolling around in my mind over the last few weeks. Something that I’m realizing more for myself & sharing with my clients recently. It’s something that I think you might need to hear as well. Ready?
You deserve to be supported.
Whether it’s in your work, home life, health arena, business or that new idea that has only ever existed in your head…you deserve support.
Apparently we have this wild idea that we are meant to do it all alone and that if we “can” do it alone, we should do it alone. Or your thought might come across as…others are doing it alone & so I should too, but I’m really struggling with this so what’s wrong with meeee??? <—The answer is nothing. Nothing is wrong with you.
We, unfortunately live in a society that has lost the sense of seeking support, connecting, giving/receiving and building a community within and amongst one another. We see the never-ending to-do list of boxes to get checked and feel like it is our job to do the things…all of the things. And only when we do- do we get the validation and feeling of “enough-ness” that we all so desperately want.
Only we don’t. We don’t get it, feel it or receive it because it’s not something we get “out there” it’s something we create within ourselves…most often with help.
Last week, I had a chat with my coach & I heard the ever familiar voice in my head that said “But I should be able to do this by myself! I’m a coach for goodness sake!” Then I remembered that yes, I am a coach but I can’t see my own stuff. I can only do so much & I too need the loving reminders and occasional kick in the ass to get to the level I was made for.
And you know what…so do you.
As the days, weeks and months tick by, I’m acutely aware of the amount of support I need, deserve & more importantly desire. I am learning to flex the muscle of receiving support (with ease) in an entirely new way & I have to tell you it’s like a breath of fresh air! This isn’t something that comes naturally for me & it’s not always comfortable, but the feeling of knowing you have someone in your corner when you need them most is the best feeling in the world.
And you know what’s funny? Not having the support we deserve has less to do with the lack of said support and more to do with the fact that many of us don’t allow ourselves to ask for or receive it. The beauty is that it’s a pretty simple thing to fix and it starts with identifying where you want/need support.
Where in your life could you use a bit more support?
Maybe it’s with getting out of your own way in mindset & getting some accountability to do the thing you can’t stop thinking about (If so, let’s chat.)
Maybe it’s getting your health & self-care in order or getting some help at home so you can have more ease. Maybe it’s getting support with various tasks and to-do items that will save you time, energy & mental bandwidth.
Whatever it is…you deserve support. The question is, are you open & ready to receive it?
If so, I encourage you to take the steps now to reach out and receive that support. Even if at first it is uncomfortable, I promise, your life will never be the same (in the best ways possible).
