I need help (I just don't know what with, yet): A 31-day living 🧵 I was having a conversation last month with @peptalksblog about a block I have around not only asking for help but even registering help as an option (i.e. noticing when I'm in a situation where the average person might naturally reach out/source support, etc.) We decided to go in on a 31 day challenge in July around asking for help with something (big or small) every day. My first thought was "July is *so* busy for me. I don't have time to get help every day," which immediately exposed my bias in the department. I spent a lot of my life being so bad at articulating my needs that when others would step in to try to help with something, they'd usually miss the mark and then I'd see 'performing gratitude' as another stressful & time-consuming item on my to-do list. So I decided that this month, if I can't ask for help every day, I'm going to work on at least becoming aware of things I do need help with and getting better at articulating them. A principle I teach and theoretically hold is that it's best to attend to needs & start looking (flexibly) for ways to fulfill them when they're at ~a 3-5 out of 10. I'd like to start properly living this, so I'm going to record for the next 31 days, things I am noticing myself needing support on, or instances where I ask directly for help. May even post a few open asks within the thread itself. Starting this out I feel vaguely anxious and uncomfortable. We'll see how I feel by the end! AND absolutely feel free to join in on this, if it calls to anyone reading! Would *love* to follow along with & draw inspiration from anyone else's asks.
