Good morning! Have you ever
noticed the natural human tendency to put ourselves in the "middle" or
everything as a source or cause? For example, when someone doesn't
return a phone call, our thoughts often turn to, "Did I upset her?" or
"Maybe she doesn't want to talk to me." Or if a co-worker seems to be
having an off-day we may wonder, "Did I contribute?"
When we make
the focus about "us" we can't focus on another person in a healthy way.
In these situations it is best to turn from our own ego and instead
look at the situation or the person directly. Perhaps a call wasn't
returned because a child became sick, or the person went into a ditch
in a snowstorm, or fell asleep while watching TV. Perhaps, it has
nothing to do with us. Perhaps a co-worker learned of an ill-relative,
or had a fight with a spouse. Usually it has nothing to do with us.
Your
turn:
As you go throughout your day, watch for the tendency to put yourself as a "cause" or "reason." When you find yourself doing so, remove the focus from yourself and instead ask thoughtful and inquisitive questions about the situation of concern. Remember that when we make the focus about "us" we can't focus on another person in a healthy way. Your
affirmation: I remain focused on the entire situation versus focused on myself. | |||||||
