Hello and welcome back to the Self-Healer Soundboard. Today's episode we're going to talk

about personal responsibility, which I know for many of us is both a foundational and

very difficult aspect of our healing journeys. Taking personal responsibility really is what

gives you empowerment in life and on your healing journeys and it also happens to be something

that is so commonly challenging for many of us. We'd much rather be kind of at a whim

or a victim to our circumstances and allow the world to happen to us than realizing that

as fully functioning adults we are responsible for how we're co-creating in the world around

us and how we choose to respond or react. Really, really great point to start with

Jenna because the large majority of us out there and probably many of you listening

do feel very much like a victim to your environment or like you're just reacting to the world

around you probably because you are. So many of us are living from that autopilot where

we don't even really make choices for ourselves throughout the day. We just go about life as

we know it day in and day out pretty much looks the same and when we're not showing up

and making choices we do slip into reactivity. The same events cause the same reactions

and we actually don't feel like we have choice at all. We become reactive, we become powerless

and we feel very, very disempowered. And while those feelings are incredibly valid the

experience of blaming someone else or blaming your past or blaming your circumstances or

the conditions of your life for how your life is or how you're showing up only leaves

you in a disempowered state. It actually allows you to then suffer and not fulfill your

highest self or your highest life or destiny. So to be clear most of what we're talking

about all of these habits and all of the patterns that live in our subconscious came from

somewhere typically our past experiences that we've had. It's not that we were responsible
