Ask for help
I'm trying to be better about asking for help.
A big step on that journey was starting therapy. I never saw myself as someone who needed therapy, but I now realize that pretty much everyone could benefit from it in some form or fashion. It's been a huge help for me as I navigate the many life changes that have happened over the past couple of years.
I'm also trying to be better about asking for help at work. It's easy for me to become overwhelmed at work. I then become ashamed of even needing help and that in turn makes it harder to ask. Nothing like a good old despair spiral to bring your productivity to a halt! Just tonight, however, I was reminded of how important it is to get help quickly. I solved a problem I'd spun my wheels on for hours in about 10 minutes – just by stopping and talking to a colleague about it.
Ask for help. Everyone needs it!
