Here’s the final tip in this series! This tip is about getting yourself support.
This tip goes beyond delegating things. This is about getting help for yourself where you need it. Let’s say you had a bad day at work and you’re supposed to cook dinner. It’s ok to ask your partner to take over the task today. And if your partner had a bad day too, it’s ok to delegate dinner to a take-out joint.
Asking for support when you need it is essential and it gives your partner and other important people in your life the opportunity to provide support for you. For the people who love you, the opportunity to support you is a gift.
Maybe you need to talk and you can reach out to a friend or family member for support.
As you’ve been reading my tips, maybe something has stood out for you, or maybe you’re feeling just too stuck to move forward on your own. Maybe you’re even giving yourself some negative self-talk about it.
The key is to realize that support is out there for you if you need it. You just need to ask for it.
Maybe you’ve been thinking about talking to a therapist about things that are on your mind. It’s ok to do that. Maybe you’ve been seeing my tips and thinking about reaching out to me, and it’s ok to do that too.
There are lots of reasons people want to work with a coach. For some people, they are too close to their own situation and need an outside perspective. They can’t see where their blind spots are; they need someone else to help them with that. Some people just need help with making a decision, formulating a plan, or make progress on something they haven’t been able to do on their own. Some people are experiencing stress and some people just realize they could be happier. Some people are advanced in their career and don’t have support at their level and need a sounding board. Some people have been stuck for a while and didn’t even realize that it was possible to become unstuck until they give coaching a try. Some people just need a little support and some people need a little more. And all of that is ok.
Reflecting back on the past two weeks, I would love to hear how you applied the tips and how they’ve helped you. Is there a specific area where you could use some more help, learning, and growth? What can you do you to support yourself in getting the help that you need?
