Stress Tip (#5) - by Yvette K.

Tip #5:

Control Freaks, Ask for Help!! (Especially when you DON’T need it – practice will make it easier to ask when you really do need help.) If any of you stressed-out Divas are like me, emotional tension often comes from wanting it all, and being told that YOU CAN DO IT! Well, we CAN do it…but not as effectively alone as we would with help. I believe humans are gregarious for a reason: in every way we are better when we work together – admit we can’t do it all…all at once!

As Divas, we are practicing helping each other, and accepting the help of those around us. Not walking alone. Offering water, support, hugs and high-fives. Offering ears, hearts, and friendly chit-chat! We are a SAFE place for Control-Freaks (you know who you are) to practice letting go, admitting we are not always in control, and allowing a restfulness of simply being curious, learning and trying out something new.

If you find yourself stressed out, give up the control! Find trust! Ask for help! And then be grateful, and peaceful, and accepting, of the generosity all around you.
