Self-Improvement - Are You Losing Yourself in Relationships?

Molly had been feeling that people took advantage of her kindness. Being a caring person she was available whenever someone needed her either in person or on the telephone. Yet when Molly needed people to support her they were often too busy with their own lives. This would hurt Molly's feelings and she found herself getting angry but then rationalized that she should not feel that way.

What can Molly do? Does she have choices? It was when her boss refused to pay her for overtime Molly realized that she had to get control back over her life. This was a big step for Molly but the indignation of being taken advantage off spurred her on.

She decided that she had a choice to make. She could continue to feel sorry for herself or make some changes. Just the realization that she had a choice made her feel better. She stopped putting in overtime and freed up necessary time for her own family. She did not lose her job and she began to make other changes at work. Next she introduced changes with a ex-girlfriend revenge who had the habit of calling her a lot and would get upset if Molly said she had to get off the phone. Molly's choice was to be upset or to set limits with her ex-girlfriend revenge. She started letting her ex-girlfriend revenge know that she only had a few minutes to talk and then she would end the conversation. ex-girlfriend revenge learned that Molly meant what she said.

Here is what Molly learned from standing up for herself:

1. People can not take advantage of you unless you give them permission.

2. You are always in choice. It is up to you if you use it.

3. Trust yourself - you are the only one who knows what is right for you.

4. Take control back over yourself.

5. Accept others the way they are and decide how you want them to be in your life.
