c116. Overcome
For when you feel stuck in a pattern of learned helplessness and think there is nothing you can do. In a mindset like that, it is easy to (subconsciously) surrender and submit to the situation without thinking about how to deal with it.
Start realising that there is always something you have influence on, however small. Realise that you can make decisions and are allowed to say no to whatever does not serve you or fit you, to whatever goes against who you are or infringes on your rights. Even if you think it is ‘just the way things are’.
Every decision you make, creates a ripple effect in the collective conciousness, even if it’s just a ‘no, this far and no further’ that you don’t act upon yet in that moment.
Realise that what is important to you, what you stand for and where the boundaries lie, step by step. There’s this expression, ‘If you don’t stand for something, you will fall for anything’, which basically meanse that if you don’t know what your values are, you are much much easier to influence and to manipulate into doing something that goes against them.
If you aren’t aware of your values, someone with reasonably sounding arguments can more easily convince you that something is normal without you stopping to think about whether that is really the case for you. Think of your values as coordinates on a map. If you aren’t aware of the coordinates of your map, you are unable to assess whether something falls within them or not. Then you are more prone to taking things on board without deliberating whether or not something is morally right or wrong for you, and where the boundaries would lie, because you haven’t determined for yourself what those coordinates and boundaries are for you.
