#84: What is Self Responsibility
What is self responsibility and how can you use it to change your life? Today, I want to talk about the topic of self responsibility. You may have also heard of it as personal responsibility, or in some cases, people use the terminology radical responsibility. This principle is around really taking a look at the self and identifying what you are responsible for.
If we really want to do something different and make some type of change, we have to be willing to try different things and be open to different experiences, and something has to change, otherwise we won't change. Part of looking at making lasting change is looking at the self. It's the building block that everything else grows from, because it's all around taking a look at how you operate, how you treat yourself, how you take care of yourself, and how you show up and love yourself.
Along with all of those things it’s important to take a look and see if you are taking responsibility in your life - for how you show up, the part that you play in your relationships, the part that you play in your work and all the different areas of your life. This is what self responsibility is all about.
#83: Embracing the Present Moment: Finding Your Calm in Everyday Chaos
Today, I want to share a story with you around the impact of embracing the present moment. It includes an example of using ten minutes to connect and embrace the present moment. It’s an everyday example so you may have found yourself in a similar situation at some point in your life.
We are often sold this idea that we always need to be in the present moment, and there's almost a stress or a pressure around achieving that. But really, being in the present moment and embracing it 100% of the time isn’t the reality for most of us. If you are someone that struggles with finding a way to be in the present moment or struggles to stay in the present moment, then this story is for you.
If you're trying to connect more deeply to yourself, remember that it's a process. It's something that requires time, experimentation, openness, curiosity and a willingness to be open with yourself.
You may drop in and be present for a period of time, and then you may fall out of that, because something happened and you got triggered, or you were moving on with something else in your day and something happened. We're all on this journey. There is no right or wrong, and this is just one story that I hope can help you to see that there are many options for how you embrace the present moment and live from that place.
