Affirmations:
Everyone is my reflection, my brother/sister and myself.

I care and share and give with patience, joy and gratitude.
Please Help Me Serve You Better.
How many times do you ask for help with respect?
How much to
you want to improve your life?
How willing
are you to help those who want to help you?
How open
are you to receive the help you are given?
These are
some challenges for care givers, family, helping professionals and friends.
When you ask for help……..
Do you wait
until the last minute to ask?
Do you
whine and complain?
Do you tell
the same story again and again?
Do you ask
someone who does not know how to help?
Do you
listen to the help or advice they give?
Do you say
“thank you” and show appreciation?
Are you
respectful of friends and family who listen?
Do you
demonstrate you are trying to help yourself?
Do you
respect the personal and professional needs of your helpers?
When your caregiver is distracted, overwhelmed or upset,
they cannot give you their best.
When your
family members and friends are burned out themselves from stress, they cannot
help.
When those
you ask feel helpless or burdened, they cannot help easily or well.
When we ask
to for help, take some time to think, feel and say what is most important at
the time.
Everyone wants to give their best.
Everyone is
doing the best they can.
Everyone is
trying to give the best they have.
Parents,
friends, caregivers and professionals all seek to be helpful.
Sometimes when we find ourselves tired or burned out, we may
feel overwhelmed and underserved.
Servers
need to be served.
Helpers
need to be helped.
Lovers need
to be loved.
There is no separation between us. (Helper and One
Requesting Help)
While we
all have different cycles and seasons in our time.
We all have
trials and errors, ups and downs.
We are
giving what we know or think we know.
Everyone needs help to be most helpful.
One way to
get the help you want is to share clearly and ask for permission.
I am feeling in need of help.
I want ………...(someone to listen, some new ideas or perhaps
an opinion?)
Are you able and willing to be helpful?
Is this a good time?
What do you need from me to be most helpful?
I appreciate you for what you have given.
Help is most helpful when we are serving ourselves, as well
as another.
Loving you and all,
Betty Lue
I am here only to be truly helpful.
I am here to represent Love Who sent me.
I do not have to worry about what to say or what to do,
because Love that sent me will direct me.
I am content to be wherever Love wishes, knowing Love goes
there with me.
I will be healed as I let Love teach me to heal.
