Why do we feel victimized?
We feel victimized when we go through the consequences of an action without knowing and realizing that we created it. When the outcome affects us adversely, we tend to see only the pain and repeat the story in its adversity thus perpetuating more adversity. We often forget that we have the power to choose differently and to create a different reality.
It takes courage to think differently especially in the face of contrasts. We may act in ways that bring a temporary change, but lasting change is brought about by our thoughts - when our inner dialogue begins to move in the direction of our desired outcome.
The feeling of being victimized is ingrained in us
As conscious beings, we affect the outcome of our reality every moment. Life is a holographic game and we carry these holographic patterns in our DNA. Everything that the collective field generates becomes a pattern in this holographic image of life.
Eg: Our responses to the many atrocities and tragedies that happen around, become a hologram of the collective. This makes it easier for us to unconsciously respond the same way again. Individually and collectively, we live out patterns of reaction. Since we are sensitive to the emotions of another, it is easy to become pulled into the collective energy of victimization.
The truth is far more empowering: you are a powerful and conscious generator of love and everything like love. When you reclaim your power and shift your personal patterns - limiting responses and programming - you begin to create a shift individually. Over time, this new pattern creates a ripple on the collective level. You are here to own this truth and activate your own personal response that would lead to a solution. Without this conscious approach, a default reaction has been aggravating your problem.
You are a creator
You are an alchemist with the personal power to transform your reality with the energy of love. You are part of a whole, and everything is a part of you. When you realize your part in the whole and are capable of making a difference, in your life first, and then, others, you realize the Creator’s power that is inherent in you.
Wherever possible and whenever you remember, pull yourself out of the mass consciousness of victimization, limitation, separation, judgment, and fear. Instead, offer a higher vision of love through forgiveness, intelligence, trust, oneness, and harmony. Your singular effort does not go wasted. You hold a definite and important place in the expansion of the Universe. You are not an insignificant being playing a minuscule role. Every thought counts. All your emotional responses are important. All your actions are valuable.
When you are polarized, opinionated, and judgemental, you are adding adversely to the very things you wish to change. Dropping your victim mentality is not a difficult task, but a conscious one. Remember, you have the power to bring a resolution to any burning situation. When you bring the conscious light of love to a situation, you add to its peaceful resolution.
Dropping Victim Mentality
Change doesn't happen overnight, although it can. Your conscious and different perspective can happen right here and now. Persistent and consistent holding of the energy of solution, will lead to a tipping point, and eventually to complete resolution.
Staying in victim mentality makes you a creator of your own misery. To have a favorable outcome, you must first change the story that you tell.
Stop casting villains and perpetrators in your narrative.
Stop identifying yourself and others as victims or perpetrators in your stories.
Begin telling the story of choice, empowerment, and possibility.
Being in victim mode keeps your creative nature closed. But the moment you open the creator’s lens, you reopen the door to freedom, to peace, and to conscious creation.
Tiny shifts from victim to creator mode
Here’s a list of things that you can do to steadily build a creator mindset.
Change your introspective question from “Why me?” to “What now?”
Instead of replaying the narrative of “why this happened” and “why am I thinking this way”, gently ask yourself, “What can I do now from here?” This moves your perspective from helplessness to a place of possibility and choice.
Pause the narrative
When you find yourself telling the same painful story over and over again, pause and take a breath. Try rephrasing it with an empowering outlook. For example:
Default thought
“This always happens to me”
“I knew this negative outcome would happen”
“I have to do this because of them”
"He/she is irresponsible, and I have to bear the burden"
New approach
“I am learning how to navigate through this”
“That was then, this is now”
“I can change my narrative to what I want”
"Everyone creates their own life and so do I"
“No one has the power to create my life”
“I am the power that creates my life”
Notice your body’s signals
Victim mode always tightens the muscles, clenches the jaws, and sinks the heart. Creator mode softens. Next time you sense a tightness, place your palm in your heart region, and breathe slowly, inviting a sense of ease and calm.
Celebrate your micro-choices
Each time you choose patience over anger, hope over despair, understanding over blame, acknowledge your shift. The power of our life rests in the present moment. What you choose in your present moment creates your future reality. As your small shifts accumulate, you seamlessly shift to your creator mindset.
Closing
The moment you choose to step out of your sense of victimhood, you open the doorway to your authentic power: the power to weave your life with love, intention, and awareness. It does not take away your challenges, but gives you clarity and upliftment to make wise choices. You become a beacon of love and joy, reminding yourself in your true presence that your life is your creation.
