Believe it or not we set a president for how we want to be treated in our relationships.
Whatever we accept and allow others to do to us, will set a president for what will continue to happen. People are creatures of habit, and we can become accustomed to habits very quickly. This is both good and bad like anything else.
Let me share my story,
I know what it's like to allow people to treat me badly, and that put my life in peril. Giving someone that much control over my life put me in years of unhappiness. I would ask myself why is this happening to me? I was feeling defeated and abused. It took some years for me to learn that no one had the right to treat me badly. In my healing process, I realized my self worth and gained a healthy self-esteem. However, this was only half the battle. I could not go back to the people and situations that broke me. In doing so I set clear boundaries and no longer accept the negative behaviors that broke me. The power belongs to me and it always has, the only way that I can lose my power is if I give it away or allow it to be taken away.
It is never alright for someone to take away your power. Your physical, emotional, spiritual and overall health matters. It is your right to be happy, safe and healthy, that power belongs to you. At the end of the day, It's your responsibility to teach people hoe to treat you.
