This and That.
This and That.
Not This or That.
It can be both. And often, it is both.
But do we see it that way?
Do you make yourself choose a “side?” A perspective?
Does this “choice” contribute to distress or conflict, whether it’s in a relationship or in the form of anxiety? Does your thinking make life a little harder than it needs to be?
Consider this:
You can ACCEPT something (or someone) and not LIKE it.
You can “have it together” and still feel like you’re “falling apart.”
You can feel lonely and not be alone.
You can be strong and be vulnerable.
You can feel happy and be sad.
You can enjoy your job but still find it stressful.
You can love your partner and not want to continue the relationship.
You can grow and still be healing.
You see…
When we begin to examine and challenge our thinking we create an opportunity for resilience, adaptability, effective communication, and problem-solving. We begin to shift away from rigidity, reactivity, and blame, and we create a space in our lives for balance and wisdom.
