Luckily, she had her cell phone in her pocket. She had to call a friend to help her out of that jam! According to her, the friend laughed, teased, chastised, and reprimanded, but in the end the friend come over and helped her out of the corner.
Sometimes we need an accountability partner as well as a helping hand. We don't always remain consistent; nor do we make the right choices all the time. We all need to identify those folks who are in our corner (no pun intended). These are people we can go to for advice or assistance. Also, these are people who will remind of past successes to motivate us, as well as lessons learned to caution us.
For example:
Terry: "I'm thinking about moving my bed today.
Pat: "Remember when you moved your dresser and go stuck in a corner. Maybe you should wait tell you have help."
Here's your assignment for today -- this as an exercise we do in stress management and trust building courses I facilitate. Make a list of a few people you can count on when you're in a jam. Who I count on when I'm stuck:
1. intellectually (making a decision, etc)
2. financially (overdrawn, overspent)
3. spiritually (disconnected, depressed, feeling lost)
4. physically/medically (ill, injured, etc)
5. mechanically (heater busted, car stalled, etc)
The next time you're in a jam, you'll know just where to turn. Don't panic, and don't try to do everything by yourself!
