Responsibility

I tend to look outside of myself when I’m feeling angry, lonely, fearful, offended etc…But really I’M feeling that way. No one is “making” me feel that way. I can choose how to react to anything someone throws at me. I am responsible for my feelings. That’s a hard one for me. All my life I have been looking outside to tell me how to feel. And when I let someone get to me, hard for me to let go let God. It’s easier to blame someone else then take responsibility for my feelings
I think being aware of what I’m doing is helping me to become more responsible. I let myself feel the emotion then say ok. You chose to go to that place now you can choose to let it go as well. I think the “why” is more important than the feeling itself. The “why” helps me learn about myself. Why am I angry? Why am I hurt? When I figure out the “why,” I grow.
