Why is owning our sh*t so hard? How to take accountability and deepen self-acceptance

Hellllllllllllooooooooo lovely listeners!!

In this episode we answered a listener question that was sent in to our DMs!!

"Why is taking accountability so hard? I'm chronically late, I have a hard time receiving feedback in my personal life, I aware of it I just don't know how to hold myself more accountable."

Accountability is defined as taking ownership and responsibility for one's actions, decisions, and outcomes. It is a critical component of personal growth and development, as well as building and maintaining healthy relationships. 

Taking accountability is an essential part of personal and professional growth. 
However, it can be challenging for some people due to fear of failure, blame-shifting, low emotional intelligence, low self-esteem, or fear of negative consequences. 

By taking accountability for our actions, we can build stronger relationships, improve our self-esteem, and become better versions of ourselves.

My favourite quote of all time - We may not be responsible for the world that created our minds, but we can take responsibility for the mind with which we created our world. – Gabor Mate

Our stories and unconscious narratives and assumptions that we hold can be major blocks in our capacity to take accountability. We are responding from active defence mechanisms!!
