OUR POWER:



Some of us have a person or persons in our life who
challenges our ability to trust and care for ourselves.

Do we give up our power to that person? The child
in us can get hooked with a mixture of feelings – love,
fear, or anger. We may feel trapped, helpless, or so
attracted that we can't think straight. There may be a
powerful tug-of-war going between feelings of anger
and our need to be loved and accepted.

We can start getting our power back by becoming
aware of the people who hook us, and then
accepting that.

We can force ourselves through the motions of
reacting differently to that person, even if that new
reaction is awkward and uncomfortable.

Search out our motivations. Are we somehow trying
to control or influence the other person?

We can learn to own our power to take care of
ourselves, to be who we are free from their influence.
We can learn to own our power with difficult people.
It may not happen overnight, but we can begin,
today, to change our self-defeating reactions to the
people who have hooked us.
