When we I feel like a victim to\u00a0circumstance or other people\u2019s actions, I get a hopeless feeling in my gut.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy do things keep happening to me?\u201d \u201cThey did it to me again.\u201d<\/p>\n
If \u201cthey\u201d do something to you, the only way out of that mess is to get them to stop, right?<\/p>\n
But that is kinda hopeless, because then something else happens and life seems to be one big string of things that happen to you.<\/strong><\/p>\n There are three\u00a0steps I know I can take to turn my situation around and they require me letting go of that \u201cI\u2019m-a-victim\u201d mentality.<\/p>\n It\u2019s so easy to wallow in self pity and find fault in what \u201cothers did to us\u201d or things that just \u201chappened\u201d to us. The problem with with blaming is that we are giving away our power to do anything about it.<\/p>\n It\u2019s simple, \u201cThings did happen, but I chose how to respond to them and that is why I\u2019m at this point in my life today.\u201d<\/p>\n Make it a positive action step. Find the first thing you can do something about and go after it with all your might and focus.<\/p>\n The habit\u00a0will try\u00a0to pull you back to your old victim thinking. When that happens, simply repeat the same three steps above.<\/p>\n As you get better at it you will find that you are no longer telling the story of a victim but you will be telling an amazing story of someone who MADE IT THROUGH adversity and came out STRONGER.<\/strong><\/p>\n When things happen to you, hold tight to your right to CHOOSE YOUR REACTION<\/strong> and make a choice for yourself.<\/p>\n [shareable cite=”Abe Stone”]I am fully competent and capable in everything that I decide to do. #affirmation[\/shareable]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When we I feel like a victim to\u00a0circumstance or other people\u2019s actions, I get a hopeless feeling in my gut. \u201cWhy do things keep happening to me?\u201d \u201cThey did it to me again.\u201d If \u201cthey\u201d do something to you, the only way out of that mess is to get them to stop, right?
