Do you have the support you need? 04/30/2012
 Everyone needs to feel supported. The truth is, no one lives in a vacuum. No matter how "self-made" someone claims to be, success can never be achieved alone. So... do you have a good support system? The support you need depends on what you want out of life. If you are feeling alone, the support you need is emotional. You can use friends for support. Or, if you need more, maybe a class or coaching or counseling. If you want to get through school, you may need support in the form of tutors. If you want to get your house clean, either a course (like FlyLady!) or hiring someone could be the support you need. If you want to kick a habit that is hurting you, or if you want to adopt habits that will heal you, there are support groups for it all! Paying for support is a great thing too! A life coach has to pay his bills too so think of it as an energy exchange. Support can look like having a friend, coach, employee, or counselor to talk with to help you make a decision. Or it can simply and powerfully be someone who believes in you. No matter what form your support comes in, don't forget to express your gratitude! Ask for support where you need it. Give support where you can. No one is in this world alone. Give and receive. Set yourself up for success. Add Comment Do you feel helpless? 05/18/2011
 When you feel helpless and you feel like crying, that is a time to be very tender with yourself. Sometimes it's a time to be alone, and sometimes it's a time to reach out and ask for help. Sometimes people feel helpless because someone has done something to hurt them, or sometimes we're just too hard on ourselves. Sometimes we're just in a down cycle, sometimes we're sick. There are lots of reasons. Here's the main thing I want you to know: You are not alone. You are not alone. You are not alone. You can reach out and ask for help. You can reach out and ask for a hug. Ask for a hug. It's okay to ask for help and hugs. One thing I do when I feel overwhelmed is to pick just one small thing that I CAN do. Then I do it. Then I pick one more small thing. You can do that too. Sometimes, you really just need to rest. No one can do it all and we all need to just be gentle sometimes. Be sure you've had enough good food to eat and water to drink. Or maybe you need chocolate? Or... hugs. Ask for help when you need help. Take a deep breath; take a step back from what ever is upsetting you. Talk it over with someone you trust, someone you know is wise. Remember, YOU are the song the morning brings. Love, And hugs, Aunt Laya | Live the extraordinary life you deserve.
