Your mind is either your best friend or your worst enemy. A positive mind can allow you to be the best version of yourself that attracts abundance into your life.
Young, sensitive women may fall into the trap of having a victim mindset, unknowingly, when they start to believe that life is going against them, nobody respects them because they’re ‘sensitive’ and cannot hold their ground, and that people should feel sorry for them for the hardships they faced in life.
You can empower yourself and escape this victim mindset by embodying a more favourable mindset. This will take you from the ‘poor, sensitive woman’ persona to a ‘strong yet attuned’ archetype who can be both powerful and sensitive at the same time.
Here are 3 ways young, sensitive women can get rid of their victim mindset for good:
1 – Heal Your Inner Child
From childhood, there have been various thoughts, mindsets, words, and behaviours of people around you that have entered your conscious mind. These thoughts, words, beliefs and habits can seep into your subconscious mind when you are repetitively exposed to the same patterns by your primary caregivers.
As a child, you may have picked up on negative thinking patters, without even knowing, such as ‘love is hard to find’, ‘nobody accepts me for the way I am’ and ‘sensitivity is a weakness’. A young, sensitive woman like yourself, who is navigating her teens or 20’s, should take time to rewire these limiting subconscious beliefs and in turn, heal her inner child.
The wold perceives you how you perceive yourself; you can affirm to yourself that you are sensitive, and your sensitivity is magnetic for people who need your light. Positive words like this will gradually heal your inner child, and reassure it that it is wanted, loved, and certainly, not a victim.
2 – Understand that No – One is Coming to Save You
If you adopt this mindset and use your sensitive, empathic nature to learn how to alchemise your sufferings into strength, you will set yourself up for great bliss in your 30’s and beyond.
When you understand that you are your biggest hero, and no one is going to come and ‘fix’ you or ‘heal’ you, you will re-gain control of the steering wheel of your life. Taking accountability for your own happiness, and ensuring that you feel complete from within, will save you from being co-dependent and putting your happiness on hold.
Everyday will become a better day because you will have no more excuses to not level up for yourself.
3 – Focus on Bettering Your Present – Day Life
A sensitive nature can make you over-think and you may face the dreaded analysis paralysis when ruminating about the past. Bring ease to your mind by affirming that the past no longer exists; the past version of you no longer exists either.
Work and grow with the resources, support and time that you have now. You are still young and you have so much in life that you are yet to achieve. Focus on your present to make the future You proud!
Final thoughts <3
Like any other bad habit, having a victim mindset is also a bad habit, just one that you didn’t realise was holding you back in so many areas of your life. When you go through your 20’s learning, growing, dating and making mistakes, you may wonder why other women get respected by everyone so easily, and you don’t.
It is not your sensitive personality that is blocking the way for your desire for respect but rather, it is your victim mindset that expects pity. When you shift that energy to accepting that you had a difficult life but you are going to do everything in your might and will to come out at the other end as a much stronger, successful woman, you are embodying an abundant mindset.
Combining an abundant mindset with a sensitive nature is a recipe for ethereal beauty, for a young sensitive woman like yourself, where you can absolutely do everything from being successful to tapping into your intuitive self. <3 <3
