I’ve made an episode on self abandonment before, but this one focusses more on how to recognize the consequences of self abandonment in your own life.

Chances are, if you are abandoning yourself, you may not realize you’re doing it. Rather, you simply feel the consequences and feel unhappy in your life. When we are unhappy in life, or don’t like the way things are going, we can often blame it on other things. While outside stressor can certainly contribute to being unhappy, it ultimately your choice how you react to them and how you take care of yourself.

All of this is to say, it could be argued that the consequences I list in this episode could come from many different things and you may even feel yourself pointing your finger anywhere but within. If you’re doing this, it’s okay, taking responsibility for your life and your happiness can be hard and scary at first. After awhile, though, it becomes liberating to know that only you can make you feel a certain way.

So, if you find yourself not ready to take responsibility yet, that’s okay. But, if any of the consequences I list in this episode really resonate with you, take some time to notice that and question whether you could lighten your own burden simply by refusing to continue the cycle of self abandonment.
