From Victims to Victorious

I facilitated a group yesterday, the topic was Moving from Victim to Victorious. The clients wanted to know what actions they could take, what tools could they use to feel and own being victorious.

The students who survived the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida are an excellent example of the actions that you can take to be victorious in such a violent, painful and traumatic event. I salute them for their strength, determination, and courage. They have my full support in their efforts to change the laws.  I'm so impressed with who they are choosing to be, they truly give me hope for the future. A heartfelt KUDOS to all of them and their families who are so supportive.

Here are some actions that we can all take to move from victim to victorious.

• Speak your word!
• Take constructive action.
• Hold people accountable.
• Know that the event does not define your life.  
• Focus on any and all solutions in moving forward.
• Be the change that you want to create in the world!
• Lean into your loved ones, friends, family and allow the process of healing.
• Be with your feelings, allow the time for grief, anger, etc.,  and be compassionate with yourself.
