When you blame a person or situation for how you feel, what are you avoiding taking responsibility for?
![Blaming others is easy, shifting and understanding your own self takes courage.](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/nsplsh_a0f3d30d5b1f47b8a28779ee962ce5de~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_98,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/nsplsh_a0f3d30d5b1f47b8a28779ee962ce5de~mv2.jpg)
By placing the blame on external factors, you are not acknowledging your own role in how you perceive and respond to certain situations.
It is important to recognize that you have the power to command your emotions and how you choose to react to different circumstances. Instead of pointing fingers, attempt to reflect on how you can take ownership of your feelings and actions, and work towards managing them in a more positive and constructive manner.
If reading this there's rejection, resistance, a feeling to not agree, that's something to be even more curious about. What's the positive intention behind the reaction of not standing in your own power and to continue to blame and complain about what other people say, think or do?
What if it's a protection? What if it's a way to brush what's needing healed or delt with off and it's leaving you emotionally dormant? You see we grow and continue to evolve through our lives in maturity and emotional intelligence throughout our life, but if we blame anything outside ourselves for how we feel the good/bad we stunt our emotional growth. I know I don't want to do that, do you?
Ultimately, by taking ownership responsibility for your emotions, you can empower yourself to make more conscious and intentional choices in how you navigate through life's challenges.
When you assign blame to the outside world, you give away the keys to your own freedom
