self sabotageIt pains me to even write the word.Victim.Have you ever been one?Perhaps. And if so, I have no doubt that a flood of memories as to how and when you were came racing to mind.And now for the tough question: Have you ever been guilty of having a “victim mentality”?It’s self sabotage. It’s the one thing NO ONE ever wants to admit.And yet I see it all the time in people around me – at the store, casual friendships, and sadly, clients.This is a tough one and I struggle to write this blog today because it is such a difficult issue. I don’t want to write off how you may have been victimized. All I want to say is that you can’t stay there.A success coach advises you to look inside yourself and find out if you suffer from a victim mentality. Here are ways to identify a victim mentality:
When you are the one always being wronged.
Nothing good happens to/for you.
If the worst is going to happen, it is going to happen to you.
The idea of “poor me” enters your thoughts.
I learned something a long time ago from my sister, Kim and this is a lesson you might pay hundreds of dollars to your life coach in order to learn. She was severely burned and it wasn’t her fault. She had every right to be a victim and live that out the rest of her days. However...The burn community doesn’t operate that way. As I have learned from her and attending the Phoenix Society’s World Burn Congress, there are no victims.Only survivors.From there, it’s about moving toward that next thing.And the next thing is “thriving.”That’s a much better mentality, don’t you think?Kristi’s passion is to equip and encouragebusy women to move easily to the next level of their life and dreams. - Connect with her on Facebook here for her tips & inspirations. - View her coaching packages that will empower, encourage and equip you... click here. - Enjoy Kristi’s free downloadable ebook here or purchase her book here. - To bookKristi as a speaker for your group or conference click here.
