It surprises me every time I find myself living in the “Land
of Either/Or” where rejection, exclusion, and negativity abound. I box myself and others into black or white
categories. I think I can only choose
only one way or another. I judge myself
and others as either right or wrong.
Living in extremes is rarely helpful and creates distorted thoughts,
intense feelings, and often over-reaction.
Today, I choose to recognize when my thinking is tempted to
go down the pathway towards this detrimental territory. I will stop and redirect my steps to the
“Land of Both/And” where understanding, acceptance, connection and inclusion
thrive.
