My conditioning was that if I really wanted something I would have to be Independent and go after it all by myself.

 

I had to find out how to do something myself rather than ask someone who clearly has the knowledge and could truly help me.

 

But NO – I was stubborn, I did not want to “Bother” other people, I did not want to look like I didn’t know the answer for seeming stupid.

 

What utter BS – can you relate?

 

So I struggled on, and the weird thing is, it worked for me….. up until a point though and only for certain things.

 

So this week when I found myself a little overwhelmed with organising Path to Purpose event I had to reach out and ask for help. Ask for crew to come and support me, ask for help with looking after meals for us this week leading up to the event, asking for friends who do they know who can help, as I still have a few things to organise.

 

And people stepped up wholeheartedly – they actually helped me so much that I had a huge sigh of relief coming from my heart. Whew, that wasn’t so hard. I was also overwhelmed with gratitude and I could also catch me saying:

 

It actually felt super empowering. I remember when I had team members in the office that I held back on giving them tasks to do because it felt like I should be doing it and how dare I asked for help …. and I was also paying them for that !!!

Part of that I see now is actually my control challenge – thank goodness that is over – another blog post about that.

 

So I went to the Goddess Inner circle yesterday and asked the question Goddess Inner Circle

 

Ponder this question sisters: are you Supportable? Do you reach out for help when you need it or do you “soldier on” trying to do things yourself?

 

The answer that came back from was an OVERWHELMING – I soldier on!

 

Now that shocked me and then it did not really.

 

I sometimes think this whole Powerful Women thing has gotten a bit out of hand (ask many confused men these days)

 

Yes, I encourage Fierce Feminine Power – but somehow many of us are forgetting the FEMININE part.

 

That part where are meant to receive – and by receiving we have to open our mouths and make requests.

 

I get it , I really do – it was a massive challenge of mine too but I know when I am being a martyr and when I need to reach out to people and ask. Can you please help me with ….. Can you please show me ……….. Are you able to ……. for me

 

Now not EVERY woman has a problem with receiving (and thank goodness for that) one of my goddess sisters actually revealed well she wanted to have a knight in shining armour to come and help her. And good on her. She also said yes I wanted them to rescue me. So you see gorgeous – there are polarities in all of us.

 

So let’s all hold each other accountable to ASK for HELP – from your beloved, your friends, your community, your mentors

and remember the more you are open to receive the more abundance flows your way. Life is not meant to be hard work so get out of your own way and be supportable. Lead the way sisters.

 

So in my truth here – I would love if you could help me? (gulp)
