What is Quality of Life? It can mean so many different things to so many different people of course, depending on who you ask. A Quality of Life tool that I learned in a training I participated in has really served me well over the years.
It is not a real ranking or questionnaire in any sense, but an illustration and food for thought (and action). It is about a line that in many senses determine the very quality of your life. If you choose to place your primary focus above the line you are more likely to experience a higher quality of life then if you choose to live your life mainly below the line.
So what is above and below the line in this qualite of life tool? Above is the word LEARN. Below is the word BLAME. You most likely have a pattern of behaviour that you usually use in this aspect in situations that you face in life.
If you choose to blame in situations then you search for something of someone to put the blame on. If you instead choose to learn you instead focus on developing by acquiring new knowledge from your experience. The blaming is directed backwards, meaning you focus on the past. The learning is forward oriented, meaning you strive to the future.
Maybe this can serve as a Quality of Life tool. To ask yourself in the moment next time and note whether you choose to learn or to blame, especially if the situation feels a bit (or a lot) challenging.
