Victim vs. Creator Mindset:

Empowerment Through Choice:
Recognizing Choice: We always have the option to shift from victim to creator mentality.
- Outcome Perception: Victims see one negative outcome; creators see multiple possibilities for empowerment.
Victim Energy in Helpers, Healers, and People Pleasers:

- Seeking Validation: Over-giving to be liked causes anxiety and resentment.
- Fear of Conflict: Muting one's voice leads to feeling victimized.
- Overcommitment: Saying yes to everything causes stress and helplessness.
- Guilt and Obligation: Acting out of guilt leads to frustration and entrapment.
Shifting from Victim to Creator Energy:
- Setting Boundaries: Assert needs with healthy boundaries and clear communication.
- Cultivating Self-Approval: Focus on self-affirmation instead of seeking external validation.
- Embracing Conflict: View disagreements as opportunities for growth.
- Prioritizing Tasks: Evaluate requests based on personal capacity and practice saying no.
