In today's episode, Gina discusses the value of assuming a volunteer mindset in contrast to a victim mindset. The victim mindset is characterized by the idea that the feelings, sensations and thoughts we encounter are being done to us, and that we have no choice and no power in the matter. The volunteer mindset is characterized by a willingness to face and accept the challenges that our lives in the world bring to us. Gina offers suggestions for making the transition from victim mindset to volunteer mindset.

This discussion explores how our perceptions of feelings, sensations, and thoughts often lead us to adopt a victim mindset, feeling as if life's challenges are acting upon us rather than being experiences we can navigate. Recognizing this mindset is the first step toward empowerment, as it often leads to feelings of helplessness, contributing to both anxiety and depression.
