Your Block to Owning Your Story is...Victim
Your block to Owning Your Story is that you are seeing yourself as a victim of your circumstances.
No judgement of yourself, there's no time for that.
You're stuck in a loop of asking why...why is this happening to you, what did you do wrong and feeling as though life keeps happening to you. You might be stuck in a series of thinking of self-judgment, jealousy and justification for why things keep unfolding the way that they are in your life. Focusing on the why questions only matter when you are working towards a goal. When you are asking why something is happening to you, this question keeps you stuck in your past without any possibility of moving toward your future.
When you are stuck in the victim cycle, this plays with your feelings of worthiness, self-love, and feeling as though you have "bad luck", "nothing works out for you", or "this is how life seems to work out for you".
Awareness is where it all starts. This is not the time to be hard on yourself. It is the time for awareness and breaking the patterns that aren't serving you. This is the time for self-care, self-love, boundaries, mindset shifts, and recognizing that you are not a victim of your circumstances or story. You are a result of the choices, decisions, and reactions you make as a result of your circumstances.
"You're not a victim for sharing your story, you are a survivor setting the world on fire with your truth. And you never know who needs your light, your warmth, and raging courage." – Alex Elle
Three quick tips to help you shift your
Victim Block
1. Awareness is Key...no chance occurs without awareness of the behaviours that you are ready to change.
2. Create a mantra or a phrase to help you shift your words or message to when you recognize the victim behaviours occurring.
3. Change your focus words from "why me" to "what" can I do, focus on or what action can I do right now. Action is always the answer to overwhelm.
