How to Catch Yourself
Slowly Giving Away Your Power
Stop waiting for others to change so you can feel better.
If you think: “If only they did x, I would be okay.” This subtle victim mindset keeps you waiting for someone else to apologize, notice, or finally change, so you can feel better.
Moreover, every time you say:
“I have to.” “I had no choice.” “They made me feel guilty.”
…you’re unknowingly training your brain to believe you’re powerless. And the moment your brain buys that story, it starts acting accordingly.
That’s exactly where your power leaks out.
THE REFRAME
You don’t need months of therapy to stop feeling stuck.
You just need to catch the language that is keeping you there.
“I have to go” tells your brain you’re trapped.
“I’m choosing to go to this meeting because I want to ask for support” tells your brain you’re the one deciding. Same event, two different people showing up to it.
You can’t set a boundary while your own language is telling you that you don’t have a choice.
This is the piece that has to move first.
Also, if another person is not changing, you can be resentful, or you can get your power back. Click below to see how.
