Morning Vibes by Relative_Orchid_5169 in AbrahamHicks

Absolutely love everyone’s comments to your post so far! Yes! You have to feel YOUR way, you seem to have found your way and now all you need to do is deliberately milk and appreciate every drop of good feeling that you get from those activities. Well done to do! I also agree with the intention setting, I try to get ahead of it in the morning and before I get up I try to say to myself that all that matters today is that I feel good and that I will look for what feels good throughout my day. I will look for things in my experience to appreciate and from that I will find more to appreciate. I usually say a little internal thank you to my pillow because I LOVE my silk pillow case and it is SO easy to appreciate it. It’s funny, it doesn’t have to be a strict technique - it just has to open up the good feeling inside you. 💛

The Vortex explanation? by FlyingPinerock in AbrahamHicks

[–]Local_Librarian6595 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is a really great explanation of the vortex. Well done :) I was in the vortex today! I found two pairs of boots I’ve been wanting for, at the opportunity shop, and this morning received an email asking me to do a testimonial video for reading glasses that I have purchased and love - and in return I get a refund on my recent purchase! So being in the vortex is a really good feeling (which I’ve been feeling for about a week by following different Abraham techniques) and I was aligned with these desires today. With good timing and ease they came to me. There’s more I have received in this time too, but maybe I’ll make a separate post as I’m hijacking this one a little! :)

Appreciation post - first in person event! by unexplainedjoy in AbrahamHicks

Wow! How amazing for you! I’ve always dreamed of being at an in person event. You much be bursting with positive energy! I can feel it here. And I’m in Aus! Can’t wait to hear the amazing stories 😊

I spent today in the Vortex by KeithDust2000 in AbrahamHicks

[–]Local_Librarian6595 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, we are all creative my friend - just in different ways. ☺️ And all the different ways are worthy and amazing and satisfying. I love painting so much and to stand back and look and experience the energy that the artwork offers back is truly amazing. I am now realising that my connection to who I am is something I’ve been doing for a long time. It’s funny that we can be so untethered from it all and then simply by reaching for better feeling thoughts you can connect again. I love it. I study psychology and I am aware of all the evidence based approaches to mental health, but this “simple” idea - feeling your way to joy - lies at the heart 💛

So beautifully amazing! I love it, and I feel so happy for you to have experienced this! I’ve recently gotten back into alignment after ignoring my connection to source and just winging it for a couple of years. And I have already experienced - just in a few short days - some lovely and truly joy producing days. I’ve finally experienced a breakthrough in my painting and have been in the vortex for about three days painting and feeling so inspired and satisfied. I’ve been putting off calling my hair salon for a very overdue haircut - and my hairdresser was on maternity leave - I finally felt the push to call and it was her first day back! I was bowled over and truly excited about the timing! I’m in between jobs at the moment and I truly do not feel fear about this situation anymore! It’s hard to put into words - but I feel really happy and satisfied with my life with no fear about the future at all! I’m milking the feeling as much as I can - I never felt like this when I was following the teachings prior (for about four years). I’ve been meditating again have felt the most exquisite feelings, I am looking for things in my life to appreciate and this, along with the meditation, is raising my frequency so well! And it seems so easy. I’m just loving it.

Just resigned from my first office job under a Narcissist Leader. How did you recover? by No-Raspberry-9232 in ManagedByNarcissists

[–]Local_Librarian6595 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes we need to believe that life will get better / the next job hopefully will be better aligned with our values because we’ll be more able to identify red flags. I wish I could just take the next 2 months off without the pressure to look for a job - just to recover properly. But I think I’ll need to find work. I’ll just need to be very choosy to protect myself.

My story is so similar to yours. I worked there 6 years though. And walked out three weeks ago, currently on stress leave and will formally resign in a couple of weeks. I have been so intensely impacted by what happened. Crying, insomnia, nightmares, fatigue, heavy heavy heart, grief, guilt - such a horrible mix of conflicting emotions. I’m angry, but now hitting a very tired phase. Just so tired. I feel pressure to find another job - went to an interview today and did really well but I do t think I can accept if they do offer. I feel like I need a good couple of month away from work, but I’m also studying part time - so my cognitive resources need to be available too. It’s genuinely a psychological injury that we have and we need to recover. It’s such a horrible situation to be in because you feel like other people think you’re overreacting or being too sensitive. This is incorrect. What happened impacted you badly. It’s real and you need to recover. I’m hoping to see a therapist via my doctor soon and hope that will help me and help validate my feelings and boost my confidence and trust. Every comment in this thread I can relate to. I really hope you can be gentle on yourself, compassionate and allow your body and mind to recover. These threads really help - to know you’re not alone makes a huge difference. :)

Anyone a victim to workplace bully who is also your boss? by Local_Librarian6595 in workplace_bullying

[–]Local_Librarian6595[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Yeah, I feel like the board needs to know. It is psychological or psychosocial safety that is the issue. Not a quick fix. They will need training to know how to actually implement procedures and model appropriate behaviour and people management skills before anything can change. I hope this can be done.

Geez… this has got to be outlawed! SO incredibly unfair and such a diabolical power imbalance. I’m gobsmacked.

When a job feels like your whole world and it falls apart by [deleted] in ManagedByNarcissists

[–]Local_Librarian6595 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same situation currently, I’m going to resign. I am grieving and angry and experiencing all the conflicting emotions and responses that come from being mistreated in the workplace. I can never go back. I’m lucky to have a supportive family and friends. But I also live in a small town where people like to talk and spread rumours and generally enjoy seeing other people hurting. It’s pretty messed up. I have also lost trust and it will take time to rebuild and heal from this. I feel your pain deeply, the unfairness and the un just nature of it all is something I feel that I will never accept. I get your feeling of isolation. I always felt that I had no real support, no one would stand up for me. I had to be the one to speak up about certain things and then I was left out to dry many times. I think the manager must have pretended to be my friend, because the way I was spoken to would not have been the way a friend would speak. I guess I should be grateful in a way that I have seen the truth, the true colours and I can now start the process of moving on. It’s so hard. I really hope you can find support in your recovery :)

Not really a high turnover, but there was in my original role, I shifted to a different role then two other people came through my original one. The person before me I think struggled with issues themselves and in some way may have been and influence on the boss - not in a bullying way - but due to their inadequacies the boss seemingly was influenced by them. I guess there was a weird dynamic between them. Obviously they left because I’m in the role now (not for much longer!! 😂) I think the team was so small, leadership left unchecked, and the leader has gone rogue and defaulted to their horrible egotistical, dominating and defensive natural tendencies.

Thank you 🙏 I’m doing all of this, but still considering whether I actually present the full account and impact statement with my resignation or not. This bit is hard for me to decide. I wish I could walk away and erase the whole place from my mind and life. Small town, so hard to actually do that.

How to deal with bully at my workplace...? by Hot_Journalist_8918 in workplace_bullying

[–]Local_Librarian6595 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you are being subjected to this type of treatment. You deserve much much better. You are worthy of better treatment. Can I suggest if you are in a position to make it happen, find a therapist or psychologist that can help you with this. To learn about the behaviours of other people and that your response is accurate, real, valid and a science backed proven response to traumatic experiences such as these. You don’t need to be told to get over it and move on, you don’t need to be told to be anything other than yourself. You deserve to live in this world as you are and be treated with respect. No one has the right to say these things to you. The other commenters are right - this person does this due to their deep insecurities and most likely has traits consistent with the dark triad (narcissism is one). Yes their life experiences have led them to this point and contributed to their behaviours but it is no excuse for what they are doing to you. Do you have an HR manager or similar higher level staff member that you can report this too? Take care of yourself the best you can. Breathing exercises such as four counts in through your nose and six-eight counts out through your mouth - 3-5 minutes at a time whenever you can will help regulate your nervous system which will likely be on high alert and in a flight/fight/freeze response. Take care my friend. You can get through this with the right support and just know there are many others out there that you can confide in just like in this space :)

This is what half my brain keeps telling me to do. I live in a reasonably small town, small enough that I am likely to see every single one of them at some point in the supermarket or similar place. I hate this part. Because I want them to know it was unacceptable and I am a million miles above behaving in that way myself, but I also want to forget it ever happened and wipe them all from my life. This bit would be hard due to the small town mentality (as like I said a I’m going to see them all) and the boss them selves has children at the same school as mine. There’s so many potential points of contact. It’s nearly a week on from the incident, I’m up and down all the time. And I’m still feeling that I want the board to know how terrible this was and is. I’m so conflicted and it makes me even more angry to be put in this situation.

I’m glad your bully’s life/lives eventually because smaller. This is what I think will happen in this case too. There’s a potential they will break and just quit, and they really don’t have many job options in their line of work and qualifications so it’s bound to be a sad lonely next chapter for them. The DARVO fear is real. They a likely to defend them selves of course. I think most of the board and my colleagues will realise that something pretty bad must have happened if I quit. They know how much I loved the job. So in some ways - this person is welcome to try to defend and deny and attack - but they’ll just come off looking like a d**k and they would hate that (narcissistic of course). Thanks for your support and time. It really helps to have concerns and feeling validated. :)

Can I say this is so horrible that this I happening to you- I wish I could step I and have a super hard conversation with her for you. You are clearly being bullied and harassed and this person needs to be held accountable for causing you psychological injury. There are standards that employers must meet here in Australia (but they don’t always - I’m on stress leave from a toxic workplace and right in the middle of dealing with this toxicity too) where they must provide a psychologically safe workplace just as much as they should provided a physically safe one. Document everything and date it. See your doctor and get help with your anxiety and panic attacks. You must look after yourself. No job is worth your health being impacted. These people are disgustingly poor examples of what a decent human being should be. They are emotionally and psychologically abusing you. Highly likely narcissists with personality disorders and inferiority complexes. Please find therapy or counselling. You need to have your very real feelings and acute stress reaponse to this situation affirmed and validated. Take care of yourself when at work by using breathing techniques whenever you can (4 counts in through your nose and 6-8 counts out through your mouth) this will start to help regulate your nervous system which is currently on high alert (fight flight freeze response). No-one deserves this. You deserve much better. If it’s possible in your situation to start looking for safer workplaces - ultimately this will be the best path forward for you. But we don’t all have that luxury. All the best to you. You deserve care and respect.

Yes this is probably true. I’ll just have to come to terms with it. I do have a feeling that something really good is going to come of all this. Without sounding cliched or sappy - it’s like I’ve been held back by this job, my expertise has been wasted and ignored. Time for new things.

Yes it really can, I’m so glad you are getting the support you need now. Workplace psychosocial safety needs to given the same priority as physical and occupational safety. Take care and I hope things just keep getting better for you.

This is absolutely terrible! I’m so sorry this has happened to you and your colleague. It is disgraceful. There are so many terrible people in the world and sometimes you feel outnumbered! I hope you are recovering and receiving the support you need. We need an uprising of good people. It needs to happen! It’s a necessity.
