How to Take Ownership of Your Actions - EP074

Where does empowerment begin? 

It begins with taking ownership of our thoughts, decisions, and actions. 

Are you happy with the ownership you are taking in your personal and professional life? 

If not, when was the last time you did an ownership checkup?

Maybe you’ve had the feeling for a while that something is impeding your progress. Perhaps you’ve been indulging in more ice cream than usual, skipping workouts for marathon Netflix sessions, or arguing with your partner more than you would like. We all have those times when we realize we’ve stopped putting our best foot forward.

But have you taken the time to figure out what is driving your unnecessary stress and causing you to present yourself in a way that isn’t making you proud? 

There’s a difference between just making yourself feel better for the moment and doing the things that are going to help you do better.
