Introduction:
Welcome to Awareness for Everyone, a discussion of Conscious Reality Creation, and living the best lives we can for ourselves.  I am MJ Blehart, writer, blogger, editor, and 21st century philosopher.  This is Episode 29 – Are you a Victim?
Part 1: What is a victim?
Real victimization – after an assault, attack, rape, and so on.
Holding onto being a victim.
Always getting shit upon by the Universe.
Part 2: Why remain a victim?
You always can place blame elsewhere.
Need not take responsibility for thoughts, feelings, and actions due to victimhood.
Get to make people treat you with kid-gloves to avoid causing flashbacks and the like.
You need not be accountable and it excuses you from making changes.
It seems easy
Part 3: Taking back control
Seeking therapy
Forgiveness (not forgiving an attacker, per se – forgiving yourself).
Recognizing when you are allowing victim mentality to dominate your life.
Becoming accountable for your own thoughts, feelings, and actions.
Changing when you are ready to change (dealing when you are ready to deal).
