Own Your Choices

Stop Blaming! Unlock Higher Self Esteem and Less Stress

🔥 Hard Truth: Playing the Victim Is Just a Cozy Blanket of BS Let’s rip this wide open: You’re not lacking accountability because you can’t do it — you’re lacking it because playing the victim is easier. It feels good to wallow. It’s a warm blanket of “Poor me” that you wrap around yourself to dodge the cold reality that your choices created your mess. 👉 Write that down — it’s a keeper. There’s an actual study to back this up: 📚 A 2018 study in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin found that people who externalize blame — meaning they’re always pointing fingers at others or “circumstances” — end up with lower self-esteem and higher stress. Congrats. That’s the exact opposite of what you want, right? You want 🔥 higher self-esteem and 🧊 lower stress? Then you have to swap that victim blanket for some radical ownership. So here’s the question: Where are you still whining when you should be owning? 👇 Drop it in the comments. Let’s get honest so we can get free.
