Analyze your life situation. It makes sense to work on yourself if you yourself are acutely aware of a lack of responsibility. The reproaches of loved ones and their "good" wishes are often only a reflection of the desire to shift responsibility onto your shoulders.

Define a circle of situations in which you want to learn to take responsibility. Attempts to answer literally for everything that happens in the life of your family and in the work team is the most direct and short way to neurosis. Being responsible means that you have the ability to manage a given situation. But there are events on the outcome of which you, with all desire, cannot influence. In this case, your words "I am responsible for this!" may turn into an empty phrase.

Start taking control of the simplest everyday and work situations. It may be about making a decision on a major purchase, changing the lifestyle of your family, or performing a responsible production assignment. Take the initiative. Offer the spouse to repair the apartment together, taking on the most difficult stages of work. Contact your management to make you responsible for the corporate event.

Performing any task, strive to ensure that the final result is under your control. Check the quality of your work at each of its stages, not letting things go by themselves. Do not try to shift the responsibility for errors to other persons with whom you work.

Responsibility assumes that you are responsible for the result, regardless of far-fetched circumstances.

Learn to fight fear. It is fears that you may not be able to cope with the case and be blamed, often become the reason for avoiding responsibility. Choose tasks that challenge you.
