Responsibility.
What comes up for you when you think of this word?
What comes up when you think of this word in relation to your pain?
And your health?
And your life?
Now break the word down into response and ability.
You have the ability to respond.
Life turns up as it does. Including pain.
There it is.
You have no choice in how life turns up.
Your choice is in how you respond.
Perhaps not initially or until you are present and aware.
Automatic reactions can come first.
You begin to notice these and realise whether they help or cause more suffering.
Now you have space to choose your response.
This is what keeps you on your path to transforming your life to transform your pain.
It works that way around.
This is a key understanding to move forward in your chosen direction.
It empowers you to take responsibility because your systems are generating all your experiences, including pain.
There are no external causes.
What you see externally is created internally.
This is why cultivating inner peace and calm is so important.
Because then you can see clearly and decide your best step now.
Part of our work together is to build up your choices — skills and how to practice them.
Plus those you discover yourself, realising which work and which do not, and when they need updating.
To live yourself better.
Onwards 🚀.
