The illusion of control is very common in certain types of people. They claim you are accountable for your life being what it is, that how it goes and where is entirely upon you and your choices. This is pretty obviously false, but its tempting to believe. Then you are better than everyone "below" you while ignoring the people "above" you most often.
Did the amputee choose to get hit by a bus? Did the quadriplegic choose for the stray bullet to hit their spine? Did the mentally ill choose for their brain to be made differently?
I have cyclothymia. There are things that are out of my control with this illness. Period. Just like in all of life.
You do not owe the world a sense of responsibility for something you didn't choose to happen.
You can own and accept that it exists, which is far more powerful in my opinion.

This is very true and someone who has been through this process would know very well.mpsmaster wrote: ↑08 Aug 2020, 06:53 The author encourage the reader to take full responsability for his life as a means for balance and anxiety relief. What are your thoughts on that topic? Do you know good exemplos that prove the advantage of this step? Have you take it in some areas of your life?
Taking responsibility for your life is a great way to reduce anxiety as among other things, it gives you a sense of control over your life.
As someone who suffered anxiety in the past, I find that part of what causes and worsens the anxiety is a feeling of lack of control over things happening to you.
