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.
