This is something I am so terribly, terribly guilty of myself… not asking for help when I need it.
It’s usually because I believe that people can’t do things just the right way – my version of perfect. It’s something I’ve been working on for a while, and every now and again I fall off the wagon and feel that it’s my way or not at all. But it really is okay to ask – for help, for advice, for a shoulder in a time of need… It’s not a sign of weakness, but a sign of strength – strength to know that you need someone to help you along your path.
Really must print this one out for myself…
PS. Since this is week 4 of the Unsolicited Advice series, I thought I’d better mention that I’m creating all of these with the amazing Canva. Not sure what their status is at the moment, but I had to apply to join. If that’s still the case, and you’re a fan of graphic-design-type-stuff, then I recommend you sign up… it’s all sorts of good fun!
I am guilty of that and it’s my work in progress. The other things is keeping it simple, I keep on repeating that to myself of late and it seems to be paying off big time.
This week has been a hard one for me mentally, I felt overwhelmed on Monday by how much I have to do this side of xmas for getting my workshops up and running.
It has helped talking to hubby and I looked at what has to be done and what can wait till after xmas. That helped a lot but I also realised that I have put so much pressure on myself and that wasn’t helping. So today I have reviewed my plan for the next month and will now be scaling it back. On the basis of keeping it simple and not running myself into the ground.
Good on you love, for scaling back and keeping it simple!
Hope your workshops get up and running, and are an outstanding success for you.

p.s I love Canva and as soon as I saw your image I thought you have been playing on Canva.
Fun, isn’t it!
