Hello Everyone & Welcome Back to the RealPositiveGirl Podcast!
Thank you so much for joining me again!
Happy Thursday!
This week's theme for the podcast is: Own Who You Are
This week I want to give you some personal truths & beliefs to live by. These episodes will also help you realize that taking responsibility for everything in your life will make you stronger, not weaker.
It's easy to blame someone else for how we are feeling, why we are doing certain things & what has happened to us in the past, but that type of behavior will not help us succeed or move forward in life. That is taking the easy way out.
Here are some notes from today's episode:
- Owning your decisions comes down to one very specific truth, you don’t need someone else’s approval for what you choose to do.
- Yesterday I spoke about owning your desires, which includes making decisions to follow through with your dreams & wants. But to follow through with your decisions, you have to own those decisions.
- Owning your decisions will increase your confidence in who you are, what you want & how you want your life to go.
- But let me mention that if you have trouble owning your decisions because you have made poor decisions in the past, understand that those experiences are in the past. And we all make mistakes & hopefully accept the learning lessons that come along with those, and when we do, we can move on from those things. Not continue to linger in it.
- But if your decision regret is all-consuming, take the time to practice gratitude & it should help to change your perspective of negativity.
- We often struggle with owning our decisions due to caring too much about what others think, not trusting ourselves enough or feelings of shame & guilt.
- But when we allow others opinions & comments dictate what we do or don’t do, we are putting our happiness in their hands. Even though the truth is you are the only one in charge of your happiness, by staking it all on what someone else thinks, you are virtually giving them all the power.
- And a lot of times we actually know what decisions we would like to make, but we get so hung up on relying on others opinions that we lose faith in our own. By doing so, you are basically telling yourself what you think doesn’t matter.
- And you might not think this is too big a problem because it has always worked out for you, but what can happen is you start to live within this victim mentality & blame others for the poor decisions you have made.
- The biggest suggestion I would give you is to figure out why you are having trouble owning your decisions & come up with what to do to get through that struggle.
- Figure out why you are letting fear, others opinions or distrust in yourself get in your way.
- Start implementing boundaries with what you share with others or how you let their opinions affect you, be willing to follow through with decisions, even if everything isn’t perfect & make sure that the reason you aren’t owning your own decisions isn’t because you feel obligated to handle someone else’s. Know your personal & emotional responsibility only extends so far as you, not having to carry someone else’s.
