A short motivational message by Ashok Gupta encouraging people to ask for help and create time and space to heal. He suggests educating family and friends to reduce burdens, reframing help as beneficial to both giver and receiver, and recommends working with a coach for emotional support and awareness-building.
To help ourselves retrain we can educate people around us as to our need to have time and space. Can your family and friends reduce the burden on you? Can they give you time to heal? Now I've seen people say oh don't worry don't worry I'm fine I'm fine and yet they look like they're about to collapse. Sometimes we don't want to ask for help because we think it makes us look weak or we don't want to be a burden on others. That's definitely a helper trait but in this case it's really important to give ourselves the space and the time to heal away from those added pressures. And look people love helping others. You don't want to deprive people of the nice feeling when they help others do you? So let's help them support us whilst we need that time and space to get better and of course I highly recommend working with a coach for the emotional support and building of your awareness. Sa.
