Help Me Help You

Ah, the infamous "I can do it all myself" mentality. It's a classic trap that many of us fall into. We think we're superheroes who can take on the world, conquer all challenges, and transform ourselves into the best version of ourselves, all by ourselves.

But let's be real here. No matter how hard we try, we're not invincible. We're only human. And as much as we hate to admit it, we need help sometimes. Especially when it comes to making healthy habit changes, eating well, planning for success, and getting in healthy movement.

So, if you're ready to swallow your pride and embrace the power of collaboration, here are a few reasons why it's okay to ask for help:

You're not a health coach, personal trainer, or planner extraordinaire.

Sure, you might have watched a few YouTube videos on how to meal prep or do squats, but that doesn't make you an expert. There's a reason why people go to school for years to study nutrition or exercise science. They know what they're talking about. So, instead of relying on your own limited knowledge, why not seek out the expertise of those who have dedicated their lives to helping people live healthier lives? 

You're not a robot.

Let's face it, life is hectic. There are days when you're running from one thing to the next, and the last thing you want to do is spend an hour in the kitchen or gym. But, if you have someone to hold you accountable, it's a lot easier to stick to your healthy habits. Whether it's a coach who texts you to check in on your progress or a personal trainer who shows up at your door, having someone to keep you on track can make all the difference.

You're not alone.

When you're trying to make healthy changes, it can feel like you're the only one. But the truth is, there are millions of people out there who are on the same journey as you. By asking for help, you're opening yourself up to a world of support and encouragement. Whether it's a fitness class, a nutrition program, or an online community, there are so many resources available to help you reach your goals.

Now, I know what you're thinking. "But asking for help is so...uncool." Well, I hate to break it to you, but being uncool is the new cool. And besides who cares about being cool when you're on your way to becoming the best version of yourself?

So, how do you ask for help? Here are a few tips:

Be honest.

Admitting that you need help can be tough, but it's the first step toward making positive changes. Be honest with yourself and those around you about what you need help with.

Be specific.

Don't be afraid to ask for exactly what you need. Whether it's meal prep tips, workout advice, or accountability partners, be specific about what you're looking for.

Be open-minded.

Sometimes, the help we need comes from unexpected sources. Keep an open mind and be willing to try new things.

Just to wrap this up… asking for help is not a sign of weakness, but a sign of strength. It takes courage to admit that we can't do everything all by ourselves. By seeking out the expertise and support of others, we can create healthy habits that last a lifetime. So, let's ditch the superhero mentality and embrace the power of collaboration. After all, it's much more fun to do it together.
