In today’s fast paced world, where self-reliance is often celebrated, the simple acts of helping others and allowing yourself to be helped can transform your life.
How Helping Others Boosts Your Wellbeing
Helping others isn’t just good for them it’s good for you too. Research shows that acts of kindness and support increase happiness, reduce stress, and improve overall wellbeing. When you help someone, your brain releases “feel good” chemicals like serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin, which enhance mood and foster connection (mhanational.org).
Even small acts, such as listening, offering advice, or supporting a friend or colleague, can create meaningful impact. Many of our clients at Resilience Coaching NZ report feeling more confident and capable after helping others, discovering strength in themselves they didn’t know they had.
Why Letting Others Help You is Key
While giving is important, being open to receiving help is equally crucial. Allowing others to support you strengthens relationships, builds trust, and reduces stress. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness it’s a pathway to growth and connection (news.stanford.edu).
The “Let Them” theory suggests that by letting go of control and trusting others, we can achieve greater peace of mind (verywellmind.com).
How a Professional Coach Can Help
A professional coach can accelerate personal growth and resilience. Coaches provide guidance, help set achievable goals, and support skill development (td.org).
