It sounds simple ask for help, but many people resist it. Asking for help can represent not only take the very fragility, as the exposure of that weakness to others. Many do not want it, it is uncomfortable accepting his own vulnerability in a world made for strong.
Also, apparently strong people, or who perceive themselves more likely to help than to receive help, may have difficulty changing roles and accepting aid. Lack of flexibility can lead to an overload of tasks and within, many of which help want to be reciprocated, want to get help to lighten the load.
I see in practice that the weakest people and ask for help more naturally, by often restore and overcome challenges more quickly than people apparently stronger and resist asking for help.
What do we get when we ask for help.
Everyone needs help at some point in life, there is no one that does not need help along the way, what happens is that not always ask or accept. Sometimes, people who wish us well realize our need and approach, but do not accept the need for support, we waste these valuable resources that life gives us.
Ask for help in all situations of life: work, health, family, can bring great relief. We can divide the burden of some situations and not have to "carry" all alone, allows us to hear warm words, find new ways to tackle a situation that apparently has no way out, gain new life, receiving a shoulder to rest our concerns and overcome challenges.
When asking for help
First realize yourself. If you have employed all your possibilities and could no longer walk alone on a subject, it's time to make this gesture of generosity with yourself and ask for help.
In this way we can rely on various types of aid, some of them are:
Aid on a personal level: seek trusted friends and family members who want our good and you can listen to with attention and affection.
Professional help is a key support as there are many professionals who study and are more prepared to deal with difficult issues such as psychologists and doctors. Seek good directions and always realize what their impression on the professional that attends. The well-being and trust with a professional is key to success in coping with difficult situations.
The spiritual help to those who believe in something greater, to be connected with your spirituality, whatever it is, helps a lot in the process. Already been proven through studies, that faith is an important ally in overcoming life's difficulties.
The ideal is to have the maximum possible assistance in different fields available.
Knowing when to ask for help and not be ashamed to do so, it is essential for our mental health, shows that we recognize our limits and we can do something good for ourselves. Accepting help is to make more human and take life.
