Self-empowered

Hi Maggie,

Quick check-in just to note what I have been thinking about...maybe it will lead to further, deeper rumination.

Thinking about self-empowerment, about understanding that I am enough, and that I deserve...

Then thinking about the martyr/victim role.  It seems to be that if you never walk through the swamp, self-empowerment simply feeds being victim.  Self-empowerment becomes a way to avoid taking responsibility. But once you have walked through the swamp, passed back through the pain, know what happened to you...then the hard part, to see what you have done to others while reacting to your pain...and understand and accept responsibility, there is more of a balance.

Once you accept responsibility, you are no longer victim but co-creator. Once you understand responsibility, awareness spreads throughout your being, and your self-empowerment is different...balanced...fair to the others in your life.

I am taking a chicken course on-line...Chicken Behavior and Welfare. Gonna gowatch a few videos and read an article!!

Sending love and hugs...

Clare
