Ask and it is given

That's what we're told.
Do you believe it?
Do you feel it?
Do you Will it?
From whom does it come?
Are you sure?
Then, so be it!

Ask for help

No way!
Why not?
I shouldn't have to.
Who gave you that idea?
Things are much easier when we have help.
And much harder when we don't.
So ask!

Exchanging ideas

What do you think?
Is this a good idea?
Only if you're interested.
Otherwise it's a pain.
We have to ask to find out.
Unless information is offered unsolicited.
Then we still have to decide whether or not to accept it.

Please ask!

I'm not a mind reader.
How can I know what you want if you don't say?
And when I ask what you want, it's infuriating when you say "Please yourself."
I can do that ... please myself, without knowing what you want.
But sometimes I want to know what you want.
And you need to tell me, honestly.
Then we can start negotiating.

Are you good at choosing and asking for what you want?

Repairing the damage.

I've abused my body for long enough! It's time to take better care of it.
How will I know when I'm doing this?
I'll feel better.
What does this involve?
Better eating habits.
More exercise.
Seeing and feeling my body change, so it will willingly do what I ask of it.

Tempted again?

It will never stop!
So why not change your attitude?
You can feel good,
by deciding your attitude.
Ask yourself, do I really want this? What will it give me?
What might I want instead?
Accept either answer and delight in it!

Are you good at choosing and asking for what you want?

Does this depend on what we mean by good? No!
We know what 'good' means in this context.
We can feel how good we are at this.
So, can you choose?
And ask?
Choosing is one thing. Asking is another!
And can you accept no as an answer?

Ask for attention!

We all need attention.
'Quality time' is priceless.
If you're not getting enough,
Ask for it!
It will come. Not always immediately.
We may need to negotiate ... a little give and take?
What joy, to get what we need!

Are you good at choosing and asking for what you want?

No?
Ever wondered why?
How does it feel not to have your needs recognized and met?
What needs to change so they are?
Choose and ask for what you want.
Then, and only then, can you negotiate about the order in which all choices are met.
Yours and others'.

Are you good at choosing and asking for what you want?

No?
Then are you a people-pleaser?
It feels good when those around us have what they want.
But what about what WE want?
If we're not getting what we want because we're no good at choosing and asking for it,
then, it's likely we're always doing what others want, which will eventually lead to resentment and blame.
And that's not good!

Have the courage to choose and ASK FOR WHAT YOU WANT!

It's impossible to be helped until what's wanted is known - SPEAK UP!
