Your Foundational Tool Kit to Overcome Workplace Bullying in 2010
By admin | December 30, 2009
There are many tools and tips we can access to help is stop workplace bullying. Let’s see what foundation we are building that upon. I will suggest this as a foundation to us all. It just might be the best foundation over all the many years that people have found to move through adversity to the ‘other side’.
I’ve asked people all over the world ‘what do you do to cope’ or ‘overcome adversity’? Here summarized, is a passage you are probably familiar with and it has helped thousands of people. Today it is just for you:
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 13
The Point: The most powerful people in the world display and give love. Bullies, while powerful, are much more powerless without love.
What Does This Mean? Study love and it will protect you from anything. Fill yourself in knowingness so that you may still be able to love. This is real power.
What is This Powerful Thing Called Love?
Love is the center of our being. It is the vital force that gives us energy and direction. It connects one’s heart with another. Love is an irresistible attraction and affection for a person, place, idea, or even life itself.
Love is cherishing others, treating them with tenderness. Love thrives on acceptance and appreciation. It has the power to heal. It calls us to continually hone ourselves, while releasing the need to control. Nurtured by commitment and seasoned with kindness, love is our greatest gift and it is available to everyone.
Here’s What You Can Do To Ensure You Have Love in 2010:
- Allow your self to connect deeply.
- Commit yourself wholeheartedly to yourself and others.
- Show love through acts of kindness regularly.
- Accept and appreciate the ones you love.
- Commit to ‘love yourself’ to keep yourself protected, to get help where needed, to stay plugged in.
It is said the highest vibrational level in the world is love. It is also said that love carries the most power as well. If we can arm ourselves in 2010 with this powerful vibration, then we will be more protected from many things that have harmed us in the past.

To everyone:
God speaks to us all in this bible passage.
Choosing to follow and choose love daily is
not easy when you are experiencing mobbing,
blocking and violence at school as a teacher.
Love is not easy when the violence is out in
the open yet denied. Love is still in the world
but we are really struggling against the prince
of darkness who seems to never sleep.
Love is your armour, and best of all your sword and saviour. The bullies are empty vessels or
vessels occupied by dark forces. They are the
walking dead and they need to be thought of that
way in order to live and work among them. Maybe they will be redeemed and maybe they won’t.
Remember no weopon formed against us (our spirit)shall prosper, that is if you are aligned with God. I do not however think we are meant to stay under an abusive leader.

Really marvelous & miraculous advice !. Our “most beloved & respected” Father of Nation, Mahatma Gandhi in his Auto-biography ” My Experiments With Truth”, has mentioned that “there is no other weapon stronger & sharper than that of LOVE & NON-VIOLENCE” and He has proved it with His own life!. At the dusk of 2009 & the dawn of 2010, i think there won’t be a better advice than this for “Your Foundational Tool Kit to Overcome Workplace Bullying in 2010″. I really appreciate this & thanks a lot for the same.

this is obviously powerful stuff, but how can it help when a bully is sabotaging your work and trying to twist and deform your personality,when you live in fear of going to work and live in fear of losing your family’s income.
some victims need advice on how to stand and stay calm and dignified in front of the bully.
many victims are poor and cannot find the money for books etc.

Frequently I think we take Love for granted. However Henry Ward Beecher offers this:
“The nature of the highest love is to be exquisitely sensitive to the act of forcing itself unbidden and unwelcomed upon others. The finer, the stronger, the higher love is, the more it is conditioned upon reciprocation. No Man /Woman can afford to invest their being into anything more valuable than Faith, Hope, Love – of these three, the greatest is Love.”
Thanks for your consistent tips.

I was Viscously bullied for two years (by the toughest bully of a company of bullies) and right out of a position I was good at and loved. It has been four months already and I am still devestated by it’s affects. Even though I am usually stronger than that.
What can I do to heal and help the others still stuck in the situation? There should be a venue for people who have been abused in such a way. Is there? Bullied Annonomous;), Support for the Targets, Reformatories for the Bullies. No really, are there any groups available?
I just want to heal but my heart tells me I should be doing more to help others who are targets.
Any suggestions. Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Happy Bully Awareness in 2010 and, therefore, bully free 2010.
Best regards,

Happy New Year Everybody
Wishing everybody peace,contentment and a lot of fun too!
Staying positive at core through higher principles and reasoning, really is the answer and your forum and the comments of all contributors testify to that fact. However I also agree with Heather. Targets of bullies are usually left isolated, either because colleagues and peers are fearful of replacing the target, or sadly, because the company of bullies is sometimes sought as a method of estabishing a power base and promoting personal self interest. Bullies thrive on both elements and the frequently gradual, insidious and secretive nature of the bullying process, at least in its early stages coupled with the dismissal of the target’s perceptions as oversensitivity or paranoia, adds to the emotional fragility and confusion of the target. As your organsiation says, this cruelty, however unjustified, can seriously damage the confidence of previously able and talented individuals.
Heather I would like to join you in discovering, starting or promoting some positive forums where hurts can be aired, not endlessly but with a view to closure and moving on and of promoting a clear principled counter to the dominance of bullying, standing loud and proud to be prosocial not antisocial. I am sure that together other subscribers can support this powerful development.
Let bullying behaviour come to be prominantly condemned as shameful as any other act of violence against the person.
