Boy, was this lesson really good for me! What a coincidence that the same day I did this lesson, I had thrown a fit about needing help to get the house work done. On top of that, I complained about the way they were doing things. I completely saw myself in this tape. I just need to slow down, and ask for what I need instead of playing the martyr. Not one person could figure out what my problem was because I was too busy blowing up at everyone. I know part of it is because I am so sick and tired of being anxious. I am so sick and tired of always thinking something is wrong with me. I ready to start living again. But getting angry the way I did only made me feel worse in the form of guilt after it was all over. I completely overreacted, snapped, and treated my family with complete disrespect. Don't get me wrong, they need to help me, and I aske them after it was all over if I just gave them a list of things I'd like them to do, and promised not to criticize if they would help me. they agreed. Also, I am going to start practicing slowing down. I hope you all get as much from this lesson as I did. Blessings, Annette

HI annette,
I am exactly the same way you are.if i am busy and stressed i expect people to notice and just jump in there to help but they never do.and the stress keeps building until i snap on everybody.then i feel like an asshole.its like if you dont come right out and say hey i need help you can forget it!then after we done lost our mind,EVERYBODY wants to help.they say all you had to do was ask?i didnt think i needed to ask but i guess i did,because they just dont get it any other way.and as far as someone else doing it perfect like we do forget that too.
I am learning to come right out and ask for help,instead of letting my anger build up inside.And so what if they dont do it the way we do,at least if they get most of it done we can go in and perfect it in 1/4 of the time it would have took to do the whole job.alot of days i just get what i can from everybody else and then go through and put the finishing touches on myself. it makes my life alot less stressful.

Dear Annette,

This was a wonderful lesson for me too!
My mantra was "slow down."

Keep it the good work!
