Don't we tell the people we love that it is okay to ask for help? Wouldn't you tell that to your best friend,
your spouse, your children? What about letting yourself be okay with asking for help? Asking for help is a sign of strength, not a flaw. |
Switzerland is a wonderful place.
Everyone needs a neutral third party that is not involved in your day to day life. Sometimes the people we love most want to protect us from failure or hurt or struggles - but sometimes that does not serve us or what we REALLY need to do. And sometimes, it is ourself who shuts down an effort in the name of self-protection. Maybe you need someone who will lift you up and remind you of why you are doing what you are doing. |
Sometimes we cannot hear ourselves.
Very seldom do we see ourselves as others see or experience us. Sometimes we develop patterns that do not serve us in a good way. For example, maybe we have a self-limiting pattern of speech. Or, ways we talk about the future that could be an indication of a disconnect between how we are feeling and what we are saying. Having someone else spend time with you may reveal some observations to help you begin to think in different patterns, find new ways to identify with things in your life and create new solutions. |
A Small Shift Can Make a Big Difference
Kaleidoscopes are beautiful. One small shift and a whole new creation presents itself. Sometime it takes a shift in our thought patterns to start a new way of thinking. When we are ready and willing to consider something new and different you never know what can happen. |
Self Imposed Prisons
As we grow up, we absorb beliefs that may or may not be true. But, the fact that we perceive them to be true may cause us to act in a manner we otherwise would not. We may be trapped into beliefs and behaviors that could possibly limit the life we were meant to lead. Having a person to talk with can give you the opportunity to challenge some self-limiting behaviors and you might release some self imposed chains. |
You Have the Answers
The goal is not to find someone to make you write stuff down and keep asking if you did it (that's the job of parents - right?) The goal is to get yourself to a place where you establish a structure of self-accountability as well as weaving together a blanket of people in your life who will be there for you. The goal is to get yourself to a place where you can start taking action, get back into action, and change and grow. |
Cheerleaders help enable change......
"Having someone to meet with and discuss dreams/goals will really help motivate me to get things done rather than saying/thinking of things I want to do and not acting on them. My experience with this in the past is that I have plenty of things I want to accomplish but seem to not get very far with them. I feel having someone to meet with will help push me to take action."
