3 Steps to Escape Victim Mindset
Join me, Shawna Krueger, for an episode on the trap that is victim mindset. In this chat, I dive into the idea of a victim mindset and share a simple three-step process to break free from it. I talk about how being stuck in a victim mindset can really mess with your life and hold back your personal growth. I even open up about my own experience with it during a major life change. Let’s break down the signs and symptoms of a victim mindset and talk about the different energy levels that come with it. I stress how important it is to start by soothing and comforting ourselves—it's the first step to escaping that mindset. We also get into how we can overcome the victim mindset and reclaim our power. I also touch on how movement and taking immediate action can really help break that mindset, building an inspiration toolbox and imagining a different reality for yourself. The high level takeaway is: You have the power to change your circumstances and you don’t have to wait around for someone else to rescue you. Today’s episode is a bit different. I hope it serves you if you ever fall into self-pity and feeling bad for yourself.
