Stop Playing The Victim
How to Stop Playing The Victim in Your Life:
When things don’t go our way, we blame others.
Being a victim is a choice. Choose not to become one.
1. Stop being at war with reality
Accept reality rather than fight it. Resist self-sabotage by choosing not to live in the illusion of how things should be. When you stop expecting, you start accepting. Become friend with reality. Be like water and don’t let self-pity get in your way.
2. Stop blaming others
What others do is on them. How you react is on you. No one out there will let you out of your (perceived) misery. Stop waiting for someone to fix your problems. It’s up to you.
3. Open up your eyes
You are not the only one suffering. Listen to others, check the news. Get past your champagne problems and acknowledge those who are in worse conditions. Many people keep their heads up and smile in spite of their issues. Helping those who suffer, will put your self-pity to bed.
4. Walk in your victimizer shoes
Practice empathy, walking in someone else’s shoes builds understanding and compassion. Learned the power of empathy working on innovation and change.
5. Practice gratitude.
Victims get blinded by what’s missing and forget to see everything they have. Learn to silence your inner-critic. Appreciate what you have. And, most importantly, value who you are.
Be compassionate towards others and yourself.
