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.
