Today I want to share Barbara Hoberman Levine’s, Self-Help Experience #36 - Who’s Responsible for Me?  This exercise is found in her book, Your Body Believes Every Word You Say.  I recommend you use these instructions as mantras.

Purpose:  To accept personal responsibility for your life without condemning or judging yourself.

Instructions:  Remind yourself daily until these ideas become second nature.

• I am responsible for my life.
• I choose what to think and feel.
• Responsibility does not imply blame, shame, or a negative evaluation of myself.
• Responsibility is my acceptance (without judgment) of the control I do have over my life.
• If not me, who?
• If not now, when?
