Have you ever felt that all your hard work is for someone else or something else?
Are you working for your boss? your company? to put food on the table?
Are you playing victim and being a martyr?
Martyr Syndrome is when you sacrifice your life for the sake of anything other than your own happiness.
Now, I understand how satisfying it can be to play a martyr.
Sometimes it’s easy to get lost in what I’m doing, to forget that I actually get something out of everything I do.
I find being a mother sometimes brings up the martyr syndrome.
I’m cooking and cleaning for my family.
I’m sacrificing so my husband or my son will be happy.
In reality, I get a lot of joy and happiness out of cooking and cleaning for my family.
I enjoy a clean home.
I enjoy better tasting and healthier food.
My husband and son are healthier because they get to enjoy better tasting and healthier food.
I also have free time to exercise, and take care of myself.
I enjoy having the freedom to research and explore investments, and passive income making opportunities.
Everything you do has multiple sides and perspectives.
You have the control to change your life by making new choices.
To avoid martyr syndrome is to
1) take the time everyday and be grateful for you what you have.
2) take the time to reassess what your life is, and make new choices
3) take a day off once a week to rest and enjoy yourself.
It’s easier to say it than to do it.
I find one of the easiest ways to avoid martyr syndrome is to take a day for myself.
A rest day, to do what I like, to do whatever I want…no work.
I have Jomel watch Jordan and I don’t clean or do work.
Sometimes I nap, sometimes I call friends, sometimes I watch movies or read books, sometimes I go out with my Mom or with friends. I always meditate, and take time to feel grounded and peaceful.
Try these 3 steps and see your life change for the better.
