This really resonated with me. It's truly a skill to build the self-awareness to realize when you're the problem. It's much easier to externalize or abstract the problems away, particularly in stressful times where everyone feels overworked. I've caught myself doing this.
I have to set aside part of every week to step back, breathe in, and candidly examine how I might be contributing to problems that are happening. Otherwise it's too easy to get wrapped up in the hunt for demons outside the burning house.
