Hi there.
Thanks for joining me today.
It's Anita Kaiser here from Anita Kaiser Wellness.
And if you're not familiar with me,
I'm a coach who works with empaths and highly sensitive entrepreneurs.
I help them create business success.
By healing trauma.
And so today I wanted to just share something with you about the difference between being a victim and having a victim mentality.
And I think really often we forget,
Or have a misperception as we move through life.
Sometimes bad things have happened,
Right?
Traumatic events,
Things that were beyond our control.
And in those scenarios,
We are the victim of those events.
And taking time to acknowledge the truth of that,
If that is your truth,
Does not mean that you have a victim mentality.
Honoring the truth of what is,
Is a step that needs to occur in order for you to heal.
Having a victim mentality is much more about giving your power away.
About feeling like there is nothing that you can do to change things.
That forever and ever,
You will always get the short end of the stick or not be chosen or not accepted or liked.
Everything is against you all the time.
That is a victim mentality.
And often,
When we had a severely traumatizing experience as a young person where we had our power taken away,
And we were not resourced to deal with that trauma.
We wind up feeling like life is happening to us,
Rather than we are a participant in life and making conscious choices.
So I just invite you to consider that today.
And notice how that feels for you.
Notice what happens in your body as I share this with you,
As you hear these words.
Allow yourself to connect to the energy that is happening.
Allow yourself to notice if there's tension or tightness,
Or even if you feel really triggered by these words,
All of that is a clue for you to understand yourself a little bit better.
That's it for today.
I hope that this has been helpful for you.
And if you're interested in finding out more about me,
Please check out my work and reach out if you'd like to have a chat.
Much love.
