Do you try to do everything yourself?

  • Do you feel nobody can do things the way you do? Is the sometimes limiting trait of being a perfectionist living within you?
  • Do you allow people to support you or do you try to do everything yourself and keep going regardless of how tired, exhausted, fed up, or burned out you feel?
  • As a business owner do you try to do everything in your business, from providing your service, to all the technical issues like setting up a website, bookkeeping, and tax returns?
  • Do you feel nobody in the house can cook like you, sort the house like you so you do it all?
  • Do you feel awkward asking for support?

There was a time when I did not allow support into my life, except from a very small number of people. It was all subconscious behavior. I had learned at a young age to do things for myself and unknowingly continued to put pressure on myself to be the lone ranger and keep going no matter how upset, tired, or overwhelmed I felt. I had taken on feeling responsible for everybody else except myself. and I assure you that was emotionally heavy and exhausting!

Does this sound like you?

The Universe showed me loud and clear that I could not continue to live like this. I needed to open up my heart to support from various sources. After all, we need different forms of support at different times of our lives.

When I embarked on my business, I quickly learned that there were many aspects I knew nothing about. I knew that if I wanted a website done, I was not going to do it myself. Thankfully the more I cleared my energy system from old hurts, wounds, and limiting beliefs the Universe brought the support of many forms to me. I met many virtual friends who have been instrumental in supporting my personal and business journey. I gladly hand over the technical stuff to my wonderful website designer because I can tell you that if I tried to do all of the technical stuff myself, a website would probably not be out there for the world to view.

Make a list of everything you do in your Business/Personal life.

  • Be honest with yourself. Are there any items such as handing over tax returns that you can do?
  • Do you need a virtual assistant or other support?
  • By freeing up our time and energy to spend time on the tasks that inspire us will bring many rewards to us.
  • Is it possible to delegate tasks at home and in business?
  • Is it possible to invest in a cleaner?

Be still, check-in with yourself and ask “Is my heart open to receive support?” or “Is my heart closed to receive support?” YOU will know. Accepting support may feel a bit strange at first but over time it will become a necessary part of your life and letting go of the responsibility of having to do everything yourself is liberating!
