Asking for help

Asking for what you say? Help! Sounds easy enough doesn't it? But it is not always so straight forward.

In times of difficulty we can be overwhelmed with the complexities of just being human. Asking for help can make us feel inadequate or like we aren't meeting the expectations of the people we look up to.

But actually, being able to ask for help is a bit of a superpower!

It's time to change the way you think about asking for help! Here are some points to think about when you feel like maybe you shouldn't ask for help.

Don’t fall into the trap of thinking you have to do everything yourself.
Accept that you’re only human – you’re not supposed to be doing everything perfectly all the time.
Helping another person actually makes us feel good – give your friends and family the chance to help you.
Sharing your struggles with people you trust and asking for support strengthens your relationships.
We might convince ourselves there’s never a good time to ask for help – don’t worry too much about that. What’s important is that you say something to somebody you trust.
It takes courage to put yourself out there and ask for help – so be brave and give it a go.
