From Victimhood To Empowerment

We all have experienced times when we feel at the whim of what happens to us. But just because we feel powerless doesn’t mean we are.
Most of the time, it’s because we have chosen consciously or not to give away our power to situations and others.
While we can’t control what happens to us, we can always choose how we respond.
We are in control of our experiences when we recognise the power to choose our thoughts, words, feelings and actions regardless of the external conditions.

I am not a victim. When we feel like we don't have a choice. When we feel like we didn't choose our life's conditions and feel like we have no control of a situation and feel like we are victim of whatever happens to us. When we feel like we are stuck and powerless within a situation with some apparent limitation, Trials and injustice. When we feel powerless most of the time it's because we have chosen whether consciously or not to give away our power. We give our power away to circumstances and others to define us and determine how we see ourselves and feel. We then become a victim. The second we let our self-worth, Confidence, Feelings and actions be affected and controlled by life's circumstances and others behaviors, We become a victim. When we resist what is, When we want to control the uncontrollable, When we focus on what went wrong, We keep ourselves trapped in victimhood filled with pain, Hopelessness, Frustration, Anger and resentment. So no matter how baffling it can be when faced with trials, Healing a painful experience is essential to letting go of the limiting beliefs and the victims identity. By recognizing that our true power lies within. While we can't control what happens to us we can always choose how we respond. We stay in our power when we own our truth, Thoughts, Feelings and actions. We can then start new, Be more empowered and appreciative of the endless new possibilities and open our hearts to life again. Because the truth is we are not what happens to us. We are what we choose to become. We are what we choose to be. We are how we choose to respond. Taking a slow deep breath close your eyes. Gently arriving in your body and in the here and now and bringing into your mind a situation that you are ready to heal and let go of. So gently rocking your head from right to left you are letting go of the past, Of the pain and of the burden, Of the victim part of you. Let it all go now. And as you go deeper and deeper into an absolutely relaxed state you are making a choice to free yourself from the past because your past does not define you. You are not the pain, You are not your childhood, You are not the experience. You choose to forgive and let go of the suffering. So repeat after me out loud or in your mind. I make peace with the past. I make peace with those who have harmed me because I understand whatever they did has nothing to do with me. I allow myself to forgive others as well as to forgive myself. The past is over. I now live in the present and now I can become my true self. I am free from the past. I allow myself to be free and to be happy again. I forgive myself for holding on to this suffering and I allow myself to heal from the pain and suffering. I am worthy of the freedom forgiveness brings and I am worthy of the peace forgiveness brings. I let go of any hate, Anger or resentment towards others and myself and free myself from this burden. I am free. I am free. I release myself. I release myself. I now practice understanding and compassion towards others and towards myself. I love myself and all that I am. I forgive so that I can have inner peace. I am at peace. I am at peace. I am not a victim. I am not what happens to me. I am what I choose to become. I am what I choose to be. I always have a choice to decide how I want to feel regardless of the circumstances. How I choose to respond to life's circumstances and others is a choice. Who I decide to be in every moment including adversities will determine the quality of my life. The opportunity to free myself from being a victim is ever-present. It's up to me. I have the power to seize the opportunity to be my sovereignty again, To leave the past behind and choose who I want to be and how I want to feel from this moment forward. So take a slow deep breath and fully come back to your center. Calling your energy back. Calling your focus back. Calling your power back. You can repeat after me. I choose to feel free regardless of the seeming restrictions. I choose to speak up and stand up for myself, Honouring my opinions and values regardless of others' disagreements. I choose to stand strong in my truth and allow others to be in their truth in times of misunderstanding or miscommunication. I choose to attend to my needs first so I can be of service to others. I choose to trust myself and listen to my inner guidance to make the best choice for myself regardless of others' opinions. I choose to feel safe and confident in simply being me no matter what I do or whom I am with. I choose to feel good regardless of others' people's moods. I choose to feel safe and at peace and know inner silence and stillness regardless of the noise and turbulence in my environment. I choose to feel safe and free in my personal space even when I share my space with others. I choose to feel enough and balanced regardless of others' criticism and attacks. I choose to generate a sense of certainty and self-confidence regardless of others' doubts and judgments. I choose to feel worthy even when no one shows me acknowledgement and validation. I choose to feel worthy regardless of my job, Stages and position. I choose to feel smart and intelligent regardless of my grades and diplomas. I choose to feel healthy and loving with my body regardless of any physical ailment. I choose to feel my inner richness regardless of my financial situation. I choose to take full credit and full responsibility for the way I feel and for who I want to be. I am the one and only responsible for my person, My thoughts, My feelings, My actions, My life and my destiny. I am not a victim. I am not what happens to me. I am what I choose to be.
