Very true! Another question is in line: how to be responsible when no one else around me is? This is very important since is a situation that we will face many times in life. Parents, for example, how many times they see negligent parents around them? But they have to be firm in their resolve.

I think that's why we need the help of the other methods. I believe that when we take full responsibility our lives became simple, but it's a long way there.

Beautful! Certainly death is one of the major stressors that everyone had or will have to face. The ones who delt with that and grew with the experience have jewls of wisdom and comfort to share.

It is really a resourceful idea to overcome the odds. Evaluating yourself to understand what ideas are stressful to you is a great way to reduce stress. It is taking responsibility for these things that help you.

Yes, but it should not a stressful practice. Take your time and find things you are comfortable doing then build on those things to keep your mind calm and contrate on your goal.

Yes, taking responsibility can cause you a lot of stress. So you should take things at your own pace. Taking responsibility is supposed to be a stress reliever and not stressor so you should not overdo it.

I think it means the subject of avoiding anxiety and seeking balance is a personal responsibility and can easily be achieved if one has the necessary knowledge and motivation to do it.

Taking full responsibility for one's life can help reduce external stress that comes with living your life on another person's rules.

I agree with this idea. Accepting your responsibility in your healing process is an important and necessary step, in my opinion.

I have definitely done this. I have a "chemical imbalance" causing stress, anxiety, and anger. When I realize I am acting a certain way that is abnormal to how I usually am, I force myself to figure out a way to change it. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Taking responsibility foe your life is a very worthy goal. It is an aid to managing stress because when you know the decisions you make, why you make them, and the areas of your life that need improvement, triggers for stress are easily managed.

That's really great of you! Meny people have good reasons to not take reaponsibility: I'm an addicted, I'm a cronic depressive, and I'm a lot of things. I don't mean that is easy, or no help is needed, but when you decide that you will be what you want, and take responsibility for it, great things happen!

Taking responsibility for your personal actions can help have a better idea about yourself and in cases of stress, you can help identify your stressful behavior and understand your stressor. It can aid in managing your stress.
