@pickledpetshop: I used to have a perma victim mindset and blamed it all on my mental diagnosis, my chronic illnesses, and my childhood. I felt stuck in life and beholden to my circumstances. Here’s what I did that started to change my life around. 1. I became curious. I started wondering why I did the self sabotaging behaviours. 2. I decided I was stronger than my feelings. I can control what I spend my time thinking about. I am capable of practicing new habits. 3. I chose to be defined by who I was in the present, not my past. I didn’t want to be limited to past beliefs about myself anymore. 4. I forgave. I forgave myself for making mistakes. I forgave my parents for there’s. I realized anger and shame were keeping me stuck. 5. I envisioned a different life for myself. I started thinking about the kind of life and people I admired and decided I could be someone worthy of that. 6. I started taking accountability. Instead of blaming my actions on illness, habits, and my past, I slowed down and learned how to reflect. How to make better choices moving forward that yielded entirely new consequences that actually helped me instead of repeating the self sabotaging cycle. #MentalHealth #victimmentality #growth
