BOTH/AND vs EITHER/OR
Embracing Complexity: BOTH/AND versus EITHER/OR Mindsets
BOTH/AND thinking enables you to navigate life by acknowledging and embracing its complexities.
In contrast, EITHER/OR thinking limits us to one perspective at a time, disregarding others' experiences.
The essence of BOTH/AND lies in the belief that multiple truths can coexist simultaneously, respecting everyone's unique experiences.
I am both brave AND sometimes I get scared.
I am both grateful for what I have AND I know it's okay to be unhappy sometimes.
I am both hurt by what my partner done AND I know that people make mistakes and they are also dealing with their own struggles.
I am both happy to be a parent AND I can admit sometimes it's very hard.
I am both a strong person AND sometimes I need help.
