It’s Technique Tuesday! Today’s tool: The Pie Technique 🥧
With Thanksgiving around the corner, let’s talk about a different kind of pie… One that helps you stop taking the blame for everything.
Ever catch yourself thinking “this is all my fault” when something goes wrong? The Pie Technique helps you see the full picture by dividing up responsibility among ALL the factors that contributed to a situation.
Try this: Draw a pie chart and consider what portion actually belongs to:
🧡 Your actions
🧡 Other people’s choices
🧡 Timing or circumstances
🧡 Things outside anyone’s control
🧡 Resources available (or not available)
Most of the time, your “slice” is much smaller than you thought. Multiple factors shape every outcome. You’re not responsible for the whole pie.
This Thanksgiving, give yourself permission to put down some of that unnecessary guilt. You’ve got enough on your plate already! 🍂
