Would you accept help?
The ask is genuine, and while it sounds trivial, is it? Would you accept help…
The helper is a man, would that change things?
The helper is young, would that make a difference?
The helper is a woman, would that trigger something?
The helper is darker or lighter skin from you is that acceptable?
The helper is a family or friend, would that make them trustworthy?
The helper is a professional coach or therapist, would you go to them?
~ The helper is you, would you accept it?
Don’t answer intellectually, but instinctually, would you accept help?
Do you now need any help? Any at all? How hard is it to verbalize it? How easy is it to dismiss it?
What does your culture, ethnicity, friends, and mind have to say? Can you ignore them? Or should you deny them?
Do you have a choice?
Would you accept help?
You don’t have to answer, but I do hope you give yourself the favor of recognizing that it’s not that easy, and probably then it becomes easier…
Until the next ❤️ beat ~.~.~




Lived a chunk of my life not asking for help - much like Paola I saw it as weak. Funny thing is, my self concept was already thinking “I am weak” so just LOVE that irony. I have now slid over into, sometimes, needing too much help: “Help me see no-self, PLEASE.” Again…a bit ironic to say the least 😉
Help is on the way!
