How often do you look feel sorry for yourself?
How often do you look at what is happening to you, and feel sorry for yourself? For being in a position that you never imagined could happen.
Continuously looking backwards at what could have been, should have been, or what you have lost.
Victim mode.
In the moment, you may even feel oddly comforted by the sorrow. Enjoying the pity party and the anger at the people and circumstances that put you in this situation.
But do you REALLY feel better?
When you look in the mirror, are you proud of yourself and your actions? I know, this is deep and tough. But so are YOU. Be honest.
Bad things are going to happen. And yes, I will agree that it appears that some people have more negative things happen to them than others.
So here's are the steps. And it is uncomfortable. But the rewards are plentiful.
Look in the mirror. Take a deep reflection on what happened and why.
Was it something you could have prevented? Be honest with yourself. Sometimes the answer is yes, sometimes not.
Did you play any part in what happened? OWN it. Because unless we correct our mistakes, it is impossible to move forward.
What positive, constructive steps are you taking to move forward? This is tremendously important.
I'll say it again. What positive, constructive steps are you taking to move forward?
Regardless of why it happened and whose fault it was, not accepting it and taking actions towards bettering your situation will keep you stuck.
A pity party allows you to feel good about feeling bad.
Action makes you feel proud of who you are and what you can accomplish. Action is the anecdote to anxiety.
It does seem that some people have more bad things happen to them than others. but we ALL have it. I promise you, I personally have experienced more obstacles and challenges in life than I ever thought I would have to face: illnesses, fires, and more.
But I'm a warrior. A fighter. And you are too.
It feels so remarkable to say, look at what I have done. Look at what I have conquered and survived. Look at what I have achieved. Be truly proud of your initiative and journey.
A few moving mountain client stories... domestic violence survivor mom who fled from her home with her children to a women's shelter with nothing but the clothes on her back and shoes on her feet. She is now an incredibly successful professional.
Single, educated mother unable to find a job, working at various part time jobs, desperately struggling to make ends meet, to land her dream job and have financial security for herself and her children.
Married mom, who felt lost, forgotten, and unhappy, not sure of who she was anymore to land a job that increased her confidence, self worth, and her entire life outlook.
These are just a few of the hundreds of unique stories of my amazing warrior women. Because every client is a person, never a number.
Can this be emotional? Is there crying during our sessions? Sometimes. Always the client, not me.
Are there victories? Always. Both clients and me. My goals are your goals.
Every person walking down the street has a story. Everyone has doubts, fears, and struggles.
Imposter syndrome impacts people at every level.
You can either make a decision to stay stuck. Or a decision to face your struggles, decide that you are a WARRIOR, and you are worth the effort.
