In this episode, we talk about how making excuses is a cultural norm and takes the form of explaining rather than being accountable. We introduce the adage:
Never Complain, Blame, or Explain - as a guide for staying in integrity with ourselves and others.
We identify how these states always feel icky - which tells us we are not aligned with our true self - then discuss how we can walk ourselves back to that yummy place within where our integrity resides.
We talk about how complaining is an all too common cultural norm which creates a sort of artificial social bonding. And about how blaming keeps us in a victim mentality. All three (blaming, complaining & explaining) stem from devaluing ourselves and placing more importance On the circumstance or the opinions of the other people involved. We share how we get glitched and the simple steps you can take to re-align with yourself within and be at peace.
