In Our Conversation Today, We’re Exploring:

  • The key language indicators that might help you determine if you’re falling into victimhood

  • How to determine if you’ve really exhausted all your options or if that’s just a story you’re telling yourself

  • A definition of what victim mentality is and our thoughts about the various aspects of it

  • The importance of recognizing the difference between a bad situation or circumstance and a neutral one

  • How absolving yourself of blame might be making things worse

  • Tips for escaping from a victim mentality

Does it seem like lately everything is going wrong even if you’re doing everything right?

Whenever someone offers a possible solution to an issue you’re experiencing, do you immediately focus on why it won’t work?

Listen, sometimes stuff does go wrong through no fault of our own. Sometimes suggestions of possible solutions aren’t actually viable. However, sometimes we get in our own way by unintentionally adopting a victim mentality.

We’ve been seeing this more and more lately with our own clients and networks, so we figured it was time to address this exasperating issue head-on this week on the podcast.
