Practice awareness today. Hourly, check in with how you feel. Are you blaming? Are you complaining?
Blaming is resistance to what is. Determine what you can control and what you can't. Focus on what you can control--your thinking and your behavior. How are you impacting the other person or the situation? What does the other person(s) need? Can you help them meet their needs? What is your goal? What can you do that will help you move toward your goal? This is responsiveness.
A focus on blaming (resistance) has you feeling powerless, and sometimes aggressive toward others. A focus on being responsive to the people and situation provides you with choices. Stay aware. Turn blaming into positive action.
