Are you being verbally and emotionally abused and are you finally getting tired of it? NOW is the time to stop the abuse and take your power back.

Difficulty: Challenging
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Stop making excuses. If something feels bad, it usually is.

    -We KNOW when something feels bad the same way we know when something feels good.

    -We make excuses because we know that truly acknowledging our feelings would mean that we will have to make a change and we don't feel ready to do that.

    -But the truth is that you will never feel ready to change dysfunctional stuff.

    -Taking your power back means you do it anyway, when you are not ready, and the act of "doing it" makes you feel ready and empowered.

  2. Step 2

    When you stop seeing yourself as a victim, you take your power back.

    -Feeling victimized depletes you of your power and leaves you immobilized. You feel stuck and you are.

    -Power is not bravado. It's a little voice that says "you can do it."

    -Our inner voice whispers at first, but as we pay attention, the voice gets louder.

  3. Step 3

    Being a victim is unattractive, to your Self as well as to others.

    -Isn't it amazing that the world is a reflection of how we "see it?"

    -As a victim, you are unattractive to your Self; as a result, you are perceived that way by the world as well.

  4. Step 4

    You can create a new life; just like you created this one.

    -The process of healing demands that you take full responsibility for the life you have created and know that just like you have created the life you have today, you can create something else going forward that is good and will nourish your soul.

  5. Step 5

    Remember - Your future is your present projected forward - If you don't like your life - Change it. You can do it.
