Where Am I Living Today?


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.
