Taking Accountability & The Importance of Levity

Taking Accountability & The Importance of Levity

Author: Tracey Benson June 23, 2020 Duration: 31:03

Today, it’s just me! We’ve all had an incredibly heavy past few weeks and a lot of us are in need of some levity at the moment. So often, we fall into the pattern of blaming ourselves that we aren’t being productive in times of crisis but we need to remember that our systems are recovering from overdrive right now, so this is a time to reflect. 


Taking accountability is something I fully believe in and preach to my clients. I believe in adopting a mindset of radical responsibility and understanding the root cause of an issue. In this episode, I discuss journaling techniques that have helped me through personal issues, how Covid-19 has impacted our ability to take responsibility, and ways we can break our patterns and adjust to change. 


To hear more on how we can learn to stay balanced in times of distress, tune in to Episode 9 of Joyful-Souls!
