It’s easy to blame someone because we can always find something to be mad about.
Blaming isn’t a solution in any circumstances. It distracts, backfires, and triggers the same behavior down the stream.
There is a difference between blaming someone versus holding people accountable. If someone promises to do something for us but fails to follow through, hold them accountable by persistently asking until it gets done.
Blaming is an emotional expression that doesn’t help anybody. It has little to do with the actual issue but how angry, frustrated, and sad we are. When we catch ourselves trying to blame, it helps to turn inward and connect all the emotions with the unmet needs. Once we are centered enough, we can calmly hold behaviors accountable.
Instead of blaming, choose communication and persistence.
