How to Ask For Help (And When You Really Should)
Picture this scene: You’ve just had one too many upsetting developments in your life, and the latest one is the straw that breaks the camel’s back.
Maybe it’s getting chewed out at work when you already feel terrible, perhaps you’ve had a disappointment, or perhaps you’ve some sort of tragedy or problem to work through in your personal life.
Either way, everything feels overwhelming.
You don’t know how to proceed or even if there’s anywhere to go from here.
You just feel like giving up.
Maybe… just maybe… you should ask for help?
What Are the Four Types of Stress and How Can You Gain Control Over Them?
Like it or not, stress is something every one of us will encounter at some point in our lives. For some people, stress is just an annoying side-effect of a busy life. For others, however, stress is much more of a problem.
To an extent, we can expect to encounter some feelings of stress in the workplace. With pressing deadlines, a chaotic working environment, and the struggle to maintain a work-life balance, it stands to reason that earning a living can be stressful.
But what about when stress follows you home? Letting stress impact you mentally, spiritually, and emotionally can have a truly disastrous effect on your whole life…
One Positive Action
Go on a Negativity Fast:
Negativity is like junk food for your mind; easy to consume, addictive, and completely draining. Most people don’t even realize how much they complain, gossip, or feed their own self-doubt until they make a conscious effort to stop. So here’s the challenge: for one full day, cut it out. No complaining about traffic, no talking down to yourself, no engaging in pointless negativity. Just one day. And by the end of it, you’ll notice something, your energy will feel different.
When you stop feeding negativity, your brain looks for something else to focus on. And that’s where the shift happens. Instead of wasting mental energy on what’s wrong, you start noticing what’s working. You start looking for solutions instead of problems. You’re not ignoring reality, you’re just choosing where your focus goes. What you focus on, you feel. And what you feel, you act on. You want more confidence? More energy? More momentum? Cut off the constant stream of negativity and watch what happens.
At first, you might catch yourself slipping, and that’s okay. The key is awareness. The more you catch yourself, the more power you take back. By the end of the day, you’ll see just how much negativity was running in the background of your mind. And if you can shift it for a day, you can shift it for longer. This isn’t about pretending life is perfect, it’s about reclaiming control over your mindset. Because when you take control of your mind, you take control of your life.
