Are you playing the victim?

Are you playing the victim role? Are you able to recognize the signs in others...how about in your children? Are you keeping your children (whatever their age) responsible for themselves and their actions?

Here are the obvious red flags to playing the victim role:

1. BLAME - do you blame others...find fault in others...find it difficult to apologize?

2. JUSTIFY - do you try and justify your actions at all costs?

3. COMPLAIN - and whine...join others when they are complaining...remember what we put our attention on grows - if you are complaining...maybe your life is crummy because you are focusing all your attention on complaining thoughts!

Take a break from the victim role!!! Start a new pattern by eliminating any kind of whining or complaining for the next week - AND avoid conversations with others who are complaining. If you want different results...try this!
