Apparently this week is about learning lessons.  Yesterday the blog was about purging all the negative from my life.  This post was written before, but the end was missing or perhaps I needed to write about purging first.

Asking for and accepting help
Asking for help is so foreign to me that I have been caught totally off-guard during the mastermind when they ask “what do you need help with?” Last week I almost cried. Afterward Lynette Patterson (amazing health coach) talked with me this and not only for things that I need, but things I want. We talked about me also accepting help when it was offered.

Then Paul McIntosh is on Skype the next morning asking “How may I help you?” Freaking me out again. I was raised to do everything myself, I can do home repairs, change the oil in my car etc… because “it is more blessed to give than to receive.” Yet not accepting someone’s offer to help is denying that person’s chance to give. Not asking for help is refusing to allow someone a possibility to give.

New Routine
Trapper Sherwood is helping me in bed (he’ll love that wording) No, his sleep secret is helping me sleep. Then I wake with energy, enthusiasm and joy because of Wendi’s Wake Up Cds. I listened to a program that said when you need more energy to move as much as you can for 2 minutes. You can dance, run in place, jumping jacks, do push-ups, whatever but keep moving for 2 minutes. Not only does it make you have more energy, but gives you a mental and emotional boost.

Now:
I have conflicting coaching opinions on what to do with my website. Frankly the past few weeks have been wearing on me, many internal changes. Asking for and accepting help when I was raised to be self-reliant is incredibly hard.

This is the same as many relationships I had in my past, because I didn’t ask for anything, so was taken for everything I could do.  It opened me up for emotional abuse & abandonment.  So dumping all the negative, and expecting to be treated like I am wonderful and amazing is very cool, but very emotionally charged.  And I am still learning.  Someone told me to practice and ask my readers for something… so here it goes.

PRACTICE ASKING:
First I will ask for something I need.  I was able to get into an awesome and limited JV, and I want to prove to myself  that I can succeed…   Would you please sign up and get a Free DVD?

Now to ask for something I want.  Moody Blues helps me work.  I only have 3 CDs, (Days of Future Passed, Other Side of Life, Keys of the Kingdom) Would you send me some Moody Blues CDs or Mp3?  Here’s a wish button to make it easier, there are more, but those are the ones I know I like.

Thank you to everyone who is helping me make this transition.  Thank you for all the responses to my posts.  It helps me feel more at ease with all that seems to be happening.

Hugs and Love to each of you,
MJ
