Tip for the day
Learned helplessness is an attitude or pattern where we feel helpless or incapable of taking action that is beneficial for us.
Learned helplessness leads to constant self-betrayal. It leads to seeking validation in the wrong places, inability to finish commitments, staying in unhealthy situations and sabotaging our relationships, feeling like victims of circumstances and unable to take action that can empower us.
Because we feel badly about ourselves and have self-doubt, we get frustrated a lot because we believe everything is outside our control.
We get overwhelmed when dealing with people or working on projects. We feel like bad things always happen to us, because we are not actively recognising what we are doing, why we are doing it and that there are consequences.
Due to passivity, we might lack effort and procrastinate , to avoid decisions to try to work on challenges or improve our odds.
Consequently, learned helplessness leads to giving up even when we start working on ourselves. This is because we have trouble to follow-through. At any sign of a challenge, a no, a correction, we quit.
When we quit, we are back to victim mode and keep focusing on our never ending challenges.
We develop mental health issues, addictions which we struggle to manage, adult entitled dependence, low self-esteeem.
The outcome of all these is that we struggle to succeed in situations where we desire something or to leave an unhealthy relationship or habit. To let go of an ex.
Our life will be filled with dissatisfaction . We might feel hopeless.

Everything requires work or learning tools and skills to start with. We go to school and college to equip ourselves with tools and skills for work. We need to do the same in our non-professional lives.
For a short period in your life, a few months, investing in inner healing; inner child work, trauma coaching, therapy, counselling, codependency groups and develop awareness of our patterns and begin to challenge them. It is helpful to start intentional behaviour change.
Nothing changes until we make change individually.
