Who or what have you blamed recently? Your spouse, child, boss………… mother? How about your self? Is it human nature to blame others for our unhappiness? Might seem so for some of us. It’s probably fair to say that the more one blames, the unhappier (or angrier) one is. The more we hold others responsible for our misery, the more we put external circumstances in control of our satisfaction and the less empowered we feel. Ending this cycle of blame begins with taking responsibility for those negative reactions, getting out of our head (those critical, judgmental, angry thoughts) and, instead, connecting to our deeper needs that are wholly our own. This is the real source of our emotion, not the person or situation that we tend to blame.
In my latest podcast episode of the Real Relationships Show, I explore how to disconnect from this cycle of blame and begin building greater satisfaction, connection and authenticity in your relationships. Go to the Women’s Information Network (The WIN Online) at http://www.thewinonline/node24 and listen to Episode 7, Ending the Blame Game. Then, let me know your thoughts!

Thank you for raising this point! People do need to get rid of victim mentality and take charge over what’s going on. In order to do so, we need to be proactive instead of being reactive.
