I’m grateful that I’m responsible and accountable for my energy. One of the best things I ever did for myself was taking my power back. When I used to go through life’s challenges, like many, I blamed others and/or myself. The road to blame, no matter where it’s aimed is aligned with the energy of fear, lack, and separation. Blame makes me feel powerless and keeps me in the problem. When I get in the energy of blame, I feel like I’m swimming in murky waters waiting to be attacked. When I learned the power of being responsible and accountable for my energy, I started giving myself solutions to get myself out of the toxic water. I see options in perspectives; people who can help show up; and I see choices in how to handle situations, so that I don’t have to take on the toxic energy. Instead, I align myself with love, abundance, and peace. I hug myself in my pain with love. I have the power to change any situation when I become accountable and responsible for my energy. Even if the outside circumstances don’t change in the moment, the energy inside of me can. That is my choice. With new energy comes new perspectives. I LOVE the chain reaction that happens when I am willing to let go of the energy of fear, lack, and separation. I know I’m the only one who can do that for myself.

Today, I will be aware of the energy I’m exuding and be responsible and accountable for it. I talk about this in all my seminars because taking our power back is a HUGE piece in living the lives we actually want. We often don’t see all the times we hold ourselves back by not taking responsibility and holding ourselves accountable for what we exude. This all begins with how we treat ourselves. When I was self-abusing, I was self-blaming. Take a second to feel the difference between the words blame and taking responsibility/accountability. I feel a big difference in my body. Just the word blame puts a knot in my stomach. When I say the words responsibility and accountability, my chest naturally expands and I just realized that I take a deep breath when I do it, LOL. For me, I feel a sense of honor when I use those words. I feel empowered.

I’ve been working through a few challenging situations, and if I see my energy shifting, I become aware of the shift. I sit with the feelings I’m feeling. Then I question my perspectives to see if there is a perspective that will help me shift my energy to align with love, abundance, and peace. Just doing this can help me to not allow my energy to go dark. I simply wrap my challenging feeling in love, and that helps me find my peace. When I do that, I don’t feel separate from the world.

The cool thing is when we learn that we are accountable and responsible for our own energy, this means when we are exuding the energy of love, abundance, and peace—we are responsible and accountable for that too. That feels pretty amazing!

With Love, Abundance, and Peace,
