Blame games are supposed to be fun, so why is this one keeping me in such a bad place?
We are here to learn lessons. If we fail to learn a lesson, we keep finding opportunities to learn it again and again.
- Life will continue to throw us the same lessons until we learn from them. How to start learning that lesson
Take some alone time and review the situation
Try to view the situation from a different perspective
Let go of your attachment to the problem
Trying to control the problem will only keep you more attached to it
- Any time we let go of our attachment to what went wrong or what should have happened, we create the possibility of growth-and we pave the path for more positive results
- Quit the blame game and learn life lessons
5 steps to overcome this destructive urge:
Believe there is a lesson to be learned and consent to learn it.
- Consent to view the situation as something that can help you grow, and see it as an opportunity to learn and grow as an obstacle to moving forward.
Admit that you might have helped create the problem.
This does require you to immediately quit playing the blame game!
