Feeling Victimised

There is nothing worse than when we allow ourselves to feel victimised. Especially at work, when things get hard and things get tough, it makes us think about how much we are being paid. “I just don’t get paid enough to put up with this….”.
When we allow ourselves to feel victimised we give up looking for solutions, we get angry and bitter and our mind switches off to solutions and just looks for negative reasons to give up.
Ironically this can make us feel better because we now have a reason for our failure and a reason to give up, that everyone will understand and defend us for.
Thus often instead of pushing through our comfort zone and finding something that will work, being a victim makes people actually feel better about quitting and then go looking for something else that will require learning how to something new and quit that too.

When we find ourselves thinking like a victim we have to switch that thought immediately and move on, try something new, learn ask questions get help , but ultimately just don’t give up.
