Ask for What You Need

by Kay Rice on January 20, 2012

Something I’ve discovered as an essential part of success in any aspect of life is to be willing to ASK FOR SUPPORT!  I’ve discovered that sometimes this is difficult, and occasionally I fall into that category myself. I believe in personal accountability and I admit, I like being in control.  Sometimes those ideas qualities do not go hand in hand with asking for and receiving support.  I have learned though that it is equally important to be not only a good giver, but also a good RECEIVER!

When I decided to focus on my nutrition plan and change the way I eat, I ASKED THE PEOPLE IN MY LIFE TO SUPPORT ME both at home and at work.  I let them know some specific things that would be helpful to me that they could do, such as support me and my schedule for my daily workouts; not bringing tempting, unhealthy foods into the house, and not leaving tempting food out on the counters.  You may find someone to help you by being an accountability partner.

One thing I’ve learned in life is that “How you do ANYTHING is how you do EVERYTHING!”  So if you are hesitant to ask for support for your Health & Fitness, where else in life might you be hesitant to ask for and receive support from those around you? So let me ask you, WHERE ARE YOU GETTING SUPPORT FOR YOUR GOALS, AND ARE YOU ASKING FOR WHAT YOU NEED?  Have you asked the people around you to support you in your health and fitness goals?
