Someone says something that doesn’t sit well with us for whatever reason.
We may be taking it personally.
Taking blame in this situation would be asking more questions before responding right away.
So instead of clapping right back, we take a breath and ask ourselves…
How can we respond with love in this moment?
Responding with love is holding ourselves and our actions accountable.
And we can start by trying to understand the other person’s intentions.
What are they really trying to communicate?
What are they looking to get out of saying it?
Focusing on the why they said it vs what they said.
Communicating thoughts and feelings is tough on EVERYONE. Most people don’t even realize it’s a thing.
Taking blame is realizing that we all play a role. That we can ask better questions to get better results. That we may actually be the one adding fuel to the fire.
We’re responsible for all of our actions or lack there of. Taking blame is knowing that our actions either make things better or make them worse. We’re responsible for reflecting and adjusting along the way.
Instead of pointing fingers, we ask ourselves: how we can show up and be better next time?
