 Taking Responsibility
For Our Lives
(Adapted from 'Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway' by Susan
Jeffers, Ph.D)
1.Taking responsibility means never
blaming anyone else for anything you are being, doing, or feeling. Until you fully
understand that you, and no one else can determine your REACTION to whatever
happens...or has happened to you in the past...you will never be in control
of your life. Remember that when you blame any outside force for how you
are feeling about any of your experiences in life, you are literally giving
away all your power and thus creating pain.
2.Taking responsibility means not blaming
yourself. Don't make yourself a victim of yourself! It is important to
understand that you have always done the best you possibly could do, given
the person you were at any particular point in time. Now that you are
learning a new way of thinking, you can begin to perceive things differently
and possibly change many of your actions and reactions. It is all simply part
of the learning process and it takes
time. You must be patient with yourself.
3.Taking responsibility means being aware of
those circumstances in which you are not taking responsibility, so that you
can eventually change. Your clue will include any
signs of anger, upset, blaming, pain, self-pity, envy, helplessness,
joylessness or disappointment. Whenever you feel these symptoms, determine
what you are not doing that is causing you to feel that way. You will be
surprised at how easy it is to locate the area in which you are abdicating
responsibility.
4.Taking responsibility
means silencing the Chatterbox. This is the little
voice inside your head that tries to drive you crazy--and often succeeds! The
good news is that there are very effective ways to get rid of this kind of
negativity e.g by replacing it with positivity or learning to witness the
chatter through yoga and meditation.
5.Taking
responsibility means figuring out what you want in life and acting on it. Set your goals, then work toward them. We might find other goals
along the way that we prefer to move toward, but as long as we realize it is
all our choice, we are taking responsibility. What is most important is our
decision to enjoy the process despite how it all turns out.
6.Taking
responsibility means being aware of the multitude of choices you have in any given
situation. It is so important to realize, as you go
through each day, that at every moment you are choosing the way you feel.
When a difficult situation comes into your life, it is possible to say to
yourself, "Okay, choose. Are you going to make yourself miserable or are
you going to learn and grow from it all?" The choice is definitely
yours.
Yes, you have the power to
place yourself on the "up" side of any situation.
Learning to take
responsibility for your experience of life requires practice. The point is
simply for you to begin. You will feel better immediately.
You
can start by seeing if you can get through one week without criticizing
anyone or complaining about anything. Each time you experience upset, be
conscious of the other emotional alternatives that are available to you. Make
it a game...and laugh a lot. Remember these two words and say them to
yourself often: "I choose."

Take Two Parts Garden, One Part Orchard, Add a
Dash of Rainforest…
It began at our rainforest organic farm. We and our friends would waken and
wonder: What will it be? Will we be eating fresh papaya and passion fruit?
Will we taste turmeric and ginger? It was an everyday celebration of color,
fragrance and flavor. We were happy our friends got to experience this
organic affirmation of life, but we are blessed with many friends and we
want to share that organic blessing. So we mixed up two parts garden, one
part orchard, added a dash of rainforest, and Berry Green began.

Book Excerpt

Jonathan Chamberlain was
spurred on to a journey in search of alternative methods of overcoming
cancer, having watched his wife suffer and eventually die - both from her
cancer and from the direct effects of the orthodox treatments she had
undergone. In Cancer
Recovery Guide he presents fifteen simple, practical
strategies people have successfully used for becoming well again. These
strategies are grouped into three families: those relating to the mind
and the emotions (did you know that stress make cancers more aggressive?);
those relating to the health of the whole body (cancer cannot survive in
a tissue environment that is truly healthy); and those that focus on
directly attacking the cancer tumours. The personal stories cited
throughout the book testify to the curative possibilities of the
strategies presented.
