So the title may make you think I am going to say you are the center of the universe, I am not. Instead, take yourself out of the situation. The practice of "being the board" means that you are watching like a fly on the wall. Pretend like you have no personal stake in what is going on. Things happen. When something happens, try to avoid emotional connection, just think about what needs to happen to make the situation right again. We have to work on not getting caught up in the drama and just getting the job done, whatever it is. This seems to be common among high schoolers. When they have to work on group projects, there is always a few groups that start off well and then it turns into a he said, she said event. If they would take a step back and remember their goal of getting an A on their project, it would work out a lot better. I think I just went off on a tangent. Anyways, it isn't about blame. There are situations where blame can be given. However, if you place blame on yourself or someone else, then you are not focusing on the solution to the problem. You have to get past the idea of having someone (including yourself) to blame for everything that happens. Somethings just happen. Part of dealing with it efficiently is understanding life happens and moving on in a positive manner.
