Life moves fast. We have a lot to deal with every day. We have to deal with so many external pressures just to keep our lives going that we forget to take care of ourselves.
We like to find something or someone to blame when we can’t take care of ourselves. We want to blame our genetics.
We want to blame our schedules, our boss, our spouse, where we live. We want to point our finger at something; anything.
We want to find any and every excuse for why we feel the way we do instead of taking the responsibility for our condition. It takes a little bit of pressure off our already overloaded will-power.
But it doesn’t take the pressure off. It might make you feel lighter in the moment, but what blame and excuses do, is make it harder to make positive changes in your health and in your life.
Shifting away from blame and towards personal responsibility can have a profound impact on your health, longevity and overall well-being.
