How to Recognize When You are Below the Line
You find yourself frequently being sought out by others so they can tell you what someone did to them “this time.”
You find yourself pointing fingers and blaming others.
You find yourself frequently wasting time and energy “boss-bashing.”
You spend a lot of time talking about and making excuses for things that you cannot change.
(your boss, competition, economy government…)
Your discussions focus on what you can’t do rather than on what you can do.
You find yourself telling the same story about how you were victimized or taken advantage of, over and over again.
You express your confusion as a reason for not taking action.
You harbor resentment towards others.
You resist feedback and become defensive when receiving input from others.
You frequently say “yeah, but.”
