Who Profits When You Refuse Help?
I’m on vacation. I just went snorkeling from a catamaran off Philipsburg, St Maartan. I realized how many things I needed help to do that I used to be able to manage quite easily—things like stepping onto and moving around on a swaying boat. And I was not shy about asking for help when I needed a steadying hand.
It wasn’t always this easy for me to ask for and accept the help that was readily offered. I was proud of being fit and balancing easily and even getting up to join the impromptu dancing when the loudspeakers blared the Macarena. Not today.
I fought the natural ageing process and sometimes felt ashamed when I needed help and especially when I needed to ask for help. Then I learned about the three simple sentences I’ve written about in this book. When I used them for my belief that I should do everything by myself my feelings shifted immediately. The same thing happened with my belief that I shouldn’t ask for help.
These old beliefs no longer fit. Once I let them go, I regained my ability to still do things I love, like snorkeling.
You’ve probably had your activities restricted, temporarily or permanently, by physical injury, illness or aging. If you feel guilty or ashamed about asking for or accepting help, use this process. It still amazes me how easy it is to release the limiting beliefs you once thought kept you safe. Read the book and learn how.
