Taking responsibility for one's life is crucial to gaining control over stress. While it may take time to solve problems, making progress toward solutions and not letting challenges hold you back allows you to stay in control. Failing to take responsibility means believing you cannot handle your own issues. Taking responsibility also prevents blaming others for failures, as you ultimately chose your own actions. Accepting full accountability instantly reduces stress compared to blaming others and doing nothing.

long as you make progress towards fixing the
problem, then you’re in control of your life.

that means you believe you don’t have the ability &
strength to tackle your own problems.

others for your failure.

yourself because you agreed to take the other
person's advice & proceed with it.
