For the ladies out there who are juggling all the different hats you wear, I acknowledge you!  Taking care of kids, family, significant other, ourselves, philanthropy work, career, friends, home, and so much more is A LOT to juggle. The feeling of productivity and accomplishment is an amazing feeling. Right? We get the job done, and we do it all on our own.  We don’t ask for help nor do we think we need help. Right?

If you’re nodding your head in agreement, I am here to tell you to STOP!

DOING IT ALL BY MYSELF, I used to be the person that NEVER asked for help. I had to do it all myself. The flower arrangements, the picking up the kids, the grocery shopping, homework with the kids, the dinner reservations, cooking, get togethers at my home, celebrations, travel plans, my personal work, etc. Truthfully, it was so exhausting, and deep down I needed help but was not willing to admit that.

I almost felt like a FAILURE if I reached out for help.

There was a part of me that needed to feel worthy and significant by the applause I would get from my friends and family. I was getting my fix – the instant gratification and burning the candles at both ends!

Come on now, who can relate to this?

At the time, it was my EGO that was running the show. I needed to prove to myself and everyone else that I can do it all! Miss Perfect! And yup, I sure did, and it was serving the purpose. Until I realized, I am not truly happy, nor am I feeling fulfilled. It resulted in feelings of resentment and melancholy.

I STARTED ASKING DEEPER QUESTIONS:

• Why am I choosing to not ask for help?
• What are the stories I have created in the mind regarding asking for help?
• How is this serving me?
• Ultimately, do I want to change this belief system and behavior so that I can be a better version for myself and for everyone else around me?
• If this is causing me to feel overwhelmed, stressed, and resentful, then what do I need to do to change this?

After honestly asking those questions, I rewrote the story I was telling myself and started delegating and asking for help. It was a total game changer!

Ladies, if you’re still doing it all by yourself and feeling emotionally drained, overwhelmed, and stressed, PAUSE and CHECK IN WITH YOURSELF.
