Powerback 21: The "Why Me?" Syndrome

We have all been in situations where something did not go the way that we thought. Someone said something that caught us off guard. A situation didn't pan out the way that we wanted to. An awesome client that, oh, we got to like 99.9% of the way and then in that last little fraction of a percentage, the contract fell out. There's a hundred thousand million ways for things to go wrong and if we're not careful, we'll end up in the "why me" scenario. Some might consider this a little tiny baby violin. Sometimes this is a pity party. And a lot of times it can manifest into deep-rooted beliefs that we carry on from scenario to scenario to scenario. For instance, if you pitched a customer or a product or a service or a project that you're going to work on together and you thought it was going to go amazing and they came back to you at the 11th hour and they were like, "You know what? You're too expensive." That's a bummer, right? Especially if you've got really hyped up and you thought that this was going to go through. And especially if you've already mentally started delegating where those funds were going to go. That will often manifest into, "Oh shit, maybe my prices are too high. Maybe I'll just lower those." So then you lower your prices and you start playing on a lower vibration level and then you start attracting those types of clients. Then your mentality goes into "why me?" You're in the why me syndrome. "Why can I afford these things? Why am I behind on everything? I had these really grand plans and I really saw a future and now I feel stuck in something that doesn't belong to me. What is it about me that is wrong?" Right? It's a rabbit hole.
