Recently, I have learned that my life is going to be changing sometimes soon as one of my biggest supporters is going to have their life shifted. Therefore, I am going to have to work on being more open to others helping me when I need it. I have a hard time letting others into my life, but I know that there are those that will help me if I ask them to as they have asked if they could in the past. I must be more willing to speak for my needs.

It can be hard to be receptive to having others helping me because it requires me to open to others that I have not had to be with in situations that I have not had them in previously. It requires me to step out of my comfort zone and be willing to ask other people to help me, especially when they offer their help. It is what they often want to do and are willing to do,  I just need to be more willing to extend myself out there more.

There is a great sense of fear and judgement when I must ask others to help me with something . I feel as if I am being a burden because I cannot do something on my own or with those that have already done it for me. I know that my current top supporter will continue to do the some of the things that are needed for me to be done. I am now just going to be required to extend myself further than what I have previously because life is going to be requiring me to do so.

There is a reality that my mother is not always going to be here for me forever and that I must continue to work at being more independent, even if it requires me to step more out of my comfort zone. It may seem uncomfortable at first, but if I am safe and getting what I need, then that is what matters. Sometimes, life requires us to step out of our comfort zone and do things ourselves that may also feel uncomfortable, but we must do what we need to do to have our needs met, even if we must make changes to our routine to have them met.

In life, everything changes, and sometimes it changes in a matter of minutes. It makes us must be stronger than what we may ever perceive ourselves to be. It can be hard to be strong and do things that make us step outside of our comfort zone or that are new to us, but we must do what we need to do in life to survive.

In life, I have been blessed with so much, including knowing that I have a host of people behind me that will support me in whatever way that I can. I need to be more willing to extend myself more than what I have already because as things are changing in the life that I have known for some time, there is also the understanding that I must be better at making others know my needs and get the help I need when those that I have always expected can not do so. I must be willing to do things that I do not feel comfortable doing.
