Get Rid of the Victim Language Once and for All
This week I’ve got a question for you: Have you been complaining today? Be honest with yourself. Does it make you feel better? It probably does. But does it change anything in your situation? Nothing, I guess. I know it very well because I’ve been there before.
These disempowering self-talks are very common and seem to be an easy solution for your own problems. Think about it for a while. There are always some others responsible for your failures. But in the long term, does it bring solutions to your problems? Let’s face it. In fact, blaming others is blocking you and impacting your own progress. As a result, you stuck in hopelessness being focused on everything negative in your life.
How many times you’ve said to yourself, “I have to,” “I should,” “I must,” “I’ll try.” Let’s focus on the language for a while. Does this make you feel better about the task you plan to do or action you are going to take? Do you approach the task or rather push it away as long as possible?
Be responsible
The only way to break this vicious cycle is to take responsibility for your own actions. Stop blaming others. Be responsible for your own life, because only you create it. There are no others. There is just you and your life. Think of any challenge that appears on your way as an opportunity to grow. Ask for support if you need it. Make it work – don’t think, just do it. Don’t try – just take an action. Focus on one step at the time and move forward.
This week’s challenge
I have a challenge for you. Ten days from now, focus on your language and attitude. Be aware of your old patterns. Whenever you’ll notice you moved back to blaming others and the victim language take a breath, acknowledge what’s happening and change the attitude. Take responsibility for your own actions.
I would love to read from you whether you’ve noticed any differences after this 10-day practice. Hit the comment button! I can’t wait to read your story!
