Accountability
I had a client last week who had an excuse for everything. You know that client… it’s always someone else’s fault for why they can’t achieve the results they say they want.

“I went to my moms house for dinner and they served pasta”.

“I didn’t want to hurt their feelings by not eating dessert”.

“My kids schedule took over my life this week”.

“I had to work overtime at the office and I was too tired”.

The list goes on.

When I had heard enough I asked the client what her role was in all of those excuses? We went through each one and identified where each excuse was on her rather than the person she was blaming. For example, pasta night at moms house. She owned that one by recognizing that she wasn’t educating those around her on her health choices. She also could have owned it by planning ahead and bringing alternative food. Ultimately we uncovered that she didn’t want to feel like an inconvenience and she was putting the perceived needs of others ahead of her own health. In fact, each of these excuses boiled down to her feeling like her own health and wellbeing was a selfish choice over the feelings and schedule of others.

When we transfer blame to others we are not owning our role in the process. This is very disempowering and results in our lives get decided for us by others. Transferring that ownership back to ourselves creates an empowered state going forward so that we can create the results we truly want.
