Learn to ask for help when needed from "summary" of A New Way for Mothers by Louise Webster
As mothers, we often find ourselves juggling multiple responsibilities, trying to keep all the balls in the air without dropping a single one. It can be easy to fall into the trap of believing that we have to do it all on our own, that asking for help is a sign of weakness or failure. But the truth is, asking for help when needed is a sign of strength, not weakness. It shows that you are willing to prioritize your well-being and the well-being of your family above all else. When we try to do everything ourselves, we run the risk of burning out, becoming overwhelmed, or not being able to give our best to those we care about. By learning to ask for help when needed, we are not only taking care of ourselves but also setting a positive example for our children. We are showing them that it is okay to seek support, that no one has to do it all alone. Asking for help can come in many forms - from reaching out to friends or family members for emotional support, to hiring a babysitter so you can have some time to yourself, to delegating tasks to your partner or children. It is about recognizing your limits and being willing to let others step in when you need a helping hand. It is about creating a network of support around you, so that you never feel like you have to bear the weight of the world on your shoulders alone. So, the next time you feel like you are drowning in responsibilities, remember that it is not a sign of weakness to ask for help. It is a sign of strength, of self-awareness, and of putting your well-being first. By learning to ask for help when needed, you are not only taking care of yourself but also creating a happier, healthier, and more balanced life for you and your family.
