Made it to yet another Monday.
They come so fast! You are leaving work on Friday, wake up Saturday, and poof!
Monday
And here I sit with my coffee in the dark.
I have a blanket over my shoulders, it’s a bit cool and the ceiling fan gave me goosebumps when I first sat down.
I have a lot of planning to do this morning, I have 4 days to make sure everything is lined up at work so no one has to scramble while I’m off for surgery.
I’m just a text away but I don’t want to stress my staff. I’m sure they will be rockstars while I’m gone. But I feel guilty leaving them.
I know I cant do everything by myself.
But I do put in the effort.
It’s hard for me to sit still.
It’s hard for me to except help at times too.
Depending on others is not easy for me.
I am getting much better at it than I used to be. Delegating some things at work, asking Troy for help at home, asking for help in general is a struggle for me.
I am still learning it is ok to ask for help.
It does not make you a weak person.
It actually makes you stronger.
A stronger leader, partner, friend.
Showing other others you trust them to help you sends them a message. A message of importance and trust.
You are reaching out to someone during a vulnerable moment.
This is also true when you are on the other side of that request. Being asking for help is an honor. Someone trusts you, believes you can do it and doesn’t worry about you failing.
You are reaching back out to them while helping.
Don’t think of asking for help as a weakness. Think of it as strengthening your relationships, building confidence in one another, and letting someone know you need them in your life.
Next week I may be reaching out for a little help, if I do, know it’s because I trust you will do your best and knock it out of the park.
And I don’t have to worry.
I’ll say please and thank you now, I don’t know how my brain will do on the drugs. I may want to apologize in advance. 😳
May you have a blessed week, a beautiful Monday and I hope someone reaches out to you today and you learn how much they trust you.
