Personal responsibility rests on the fact that you are the expert about yourself. You know what you want and what you need. It is therefore up to you to take responsibility for your own well-being and life.

Sometimes this means taking back the control you lost before. People who do this are more likely to feel good, happy and content.

Personal responsibility does not mean:

• Blaming yourself for everything that has happened to you
• Pretending that you are not afraid to initiate change
• Blaming others and using that as a reason to do nothing

Taking personal responsibility is very daunting but also very fulfilling if you find the courage to take the necessary steps. Getting angry at what has been done to you can give you the courage and energy to start doing something good for yourself.
