I received some great advice the other day. I was discussing an upcoming busy weekend and someone asked me how I was planning to lighten my load. She suggested that I ask for help with my little chores, so I could focus on the big things. I’ve heard of doing this for big events like being seriously ill, having surgery, etc., but never just for a busy weekend. Why wouldn’t I reach out before I’m too overloaded? Why does it have to be a huge event?
Most of us have people in our lives that would love to lend a helping hand. I know how good it feels to provide some relief to others. Let’s start helping each other in little moments. Let’s lighten the load.
