No Joy In Blaming

When something in life isn’t going the way we want, it canbe easy to look for someone or something to blame. Sometimes we blame another person, our circumstances, the economy, or the situation we’ve been handed. Other times, we turn that blame inward and immediately start wondering what we did wrong. But no matter where we direct it, blame rarely moves us toward what we actually want. In today’s episode, Michelle explores what can happen whenwe stop giving our energy to blame and begin stepping into empowered self respect instead. That may mean recognizing where we are enabling behaviors that drain us, creating stronger boundaries, removing ourselves from situations thatcontinually hurt us, or simply accepting that if we want something different, we may need to make a different choice. Life may not owe us the outcome we wish for, but we can decide what we want, respect ourselves enough to pursue it, and start wearing a backbone where our wishbone used to be. Questions or comments?
