6. What do you do when you feel angry with yourself for not doing things like…

Last year at Success Intensive Malta, we did an open session and took questions…

here are the answers

Question:

6. What do you do when you feel angry with yourself for not doing good things like:

a) Not making decisions
b) Getting angry with others
c) Sorry too much


Answer:

Now this is a loaded question and very challenging to answer without more
details as to what exactly this person was looking for in a response.  So at the risk
 of being way off base I will answer like this:

When you feel angry with yourself accept that you are feeling angry.  You cannot
change what is. Ask yourself what would you like to feel instead and then ask
yourself how you can do that.  Then of course have the courage to take action. 
Without taking action you will continue your cycle of being a victim, one who is at
the mercy of their own emotions, and of course now that you’ve completed a
Success Intensive Event you learn and experience that you can choose to feel anything you want
at any time.

When you have not made a decision, remind yourself that in not making the
decision you have in fact decided not to decide. Therefore again perpetuated
your cycle of being a victim.  Because in deciding not to decide you have decide to
let whatever happens happen, and then you will have to deal with the consequences.
 
It’s just easier for some to become angry with others and blame them for
whatever misery we are experiencing than to hold ourselves accountable.  While
we are pointing the finger at someone else we don’t have to do anything differently.

Being sorry all the time again is just another way of not owning your stuff.  Have
the courage to own your decisions and accept that sometimes in respecting
yourself others may not be happy with your decision.  After all they just want
what they want as much as you want what you want. So have the courage to say
“this is what I’ve decided to do, it is not my intention to hurt you, yet I have no
 intention of hurting myself either”

    Wow, I really like this one “this is what I’ve decided to do, it is not my intention to hurt you, yet I have no
    intention of hurting myself either.”

    We all need to feel this way more often. It would make decision-making so much easier than when you worry about what everyone else feels and thinks. Although others may not be happy with your decision, ultimately, be thankful you can make the decision yourself.
