Where did we get the idea that we always have to always be strong, independent, and able to withstand everything life throws at us? Maybe from our families, friends or even unrealistic expectations we’ve placed on ourselves. The truth is, sometimes we need help, and the challenges we face in life can become overwhelming. For some people, when they’re going through a difficult time, it can be hard to ask for help.
Asking for help is a sign of strength! Realizing that we can’t do everything on our own and reaching out to others for help demonstrates humility, courage and strength. If you recognize you’re having a stressful or difficult time with something, don’t be afraid to reach out and find support.
