Energy Boost Tip #6

STOP.  ASK FOR HELP
You don't have to do everything all by yourself.  Do you?

Have you heard the saying, "Pride goeth before the fall?" Loosely interpreted it means you may fall flat on your face if your need to "look good" gets in the way of your body's right to "feel GREAT." 

Don't know about you, but I have been far too slooooow to ask for help. Somewhere I learned that needing help was a sign of weakness. So…I decided I had to do it ALL by myself. It was exhausting to take on activities that didn't suit my personality or style. 

I hated cutting the grass and weed eating, but I'd rather eat grass than ask someone to cut it for me. It pained me to clean the carpets and detail my car, but I did it anyway. I couldn't stand taking care of all the minute details of my business, but I did because I didn't want to "bother" my assistant. If I knew then what I know now, I would have let go -- hired out, kept life a whole lot simpler and felt a whole lot better! 

Below are a few of my favorite Ask-For-Help pit-stops. These resources have saved me countless hours of time, helped me better identify my strengths and weaknesses, and connected with me helpful people all around the globe. 

1. OnlineOrganizing.com ~  Locate a professional organizer, attend an organization seminar, purchase organizing products, and read information "how to" articles that can help you get your life in order. 

2. HOTS Survey ~ Figure out your best "style" and go for it! Personally, I'm a "hare." In other words, I am an "idea" person who thrives on coming up with fun and creative ideas. That is what energizes me. What I don't like is the tedium of follow through -- talk about fatigue! Take the HOTS survey to determine if you are a Hare, Owl, Turtle or Squirrel. You may be very surprised by the results!  

3. You Are Not Alone ~ You don't have to do everything all by yourself. There are groups to help you with just about anything. Here you'll discover multiple resources that offer support, camaraderie and friendship.
