Bullies want to
abuse you. Instead of allowing that, you can use them as your personal
motivators. Power up and let the bully eat your dust. In the pages that follow,
I will help you build your antibully antibodies. This is a process that works
by building strength from the inside out, from your deepest thoughts and
feelings—your heart and soul—to the way you see the world, make decisions, and
take actions. You build your bully defense system from the inside out by
1. Figuring out
who you are so no bully can tell you
differently or make you feel badly;
differently or make you feel badly;
2. Taking
responsibility for your own behavior and happiness so bullies have no ultimate
power over you;
3. Establishing
strong values that no bully can shake;
4. Creating a
safety zone within yourself where you can go mentally to draw strength and
comfort;
5. Building
strong and supportive relationships to stand up for you against bullies;
6. Learning to
monitor and manage your responses to the emotions triggered by bullying;
7. Developing a
spiritual foundation to help you be at peace and be strong against bullying;
8. Taking the opportunity
to learn from your bullying experience so that you can become stronger, wiser,
more confident, more faith filled, and more prepared to handle any challenges;
9. Creating your
bully defense strategy so you are prepared to handle bullies of all kinds; and
10. Mastering
empathy so you are aware of the needs of others and serve them whenever
possible to help them overcome bullying.
