Black & White Thinking Sucks

Ever find yourself caught in a line of thinking that robs you of joy + energy?
Don’t those just SUCK?!?!!

If you’re anything like me, you want to get your mental energy moving in a functional way before you make too big of a mess.

Here’s a tool I use to free my mind from fixation. I don’t just tell you about it, I use it on myself with a real life, real time example so you get to see it in action!

Guilty as charged! I've definitely found myself thinking in black and white: success / failure, action / laziness, healthy / sick, spinach+lentils / beer+french fries, etc. Thanks for reminding me that I am not alone and that it takes conscious action to truly embrace the space between black and white and move forward in this space :)

You are so welcome, Leslie! It is so easy to get stuck on one side or the other and really limit our movement. Both sides are what create movement. With out pressure a baby would never be born, and with too much pressure it would become damaged in passage. Contract and release. Expand and contract. Keep on moving and thanks so much for sharing so openly!@leslieforman

Hi @Syndee_Stein  !  You've done it again!  High concept in simple bite sized totally implementable transformational action steps!!! This is beyond useful, helpful, pragmatic and fun!  Keep up the awesome value packed teachings- you so rock!  What I'm doing well is I'm open and totally receiving your wisdom and implementing it and acknowledging you for your wisdom.  What I could improve is I'm exhausted and need to take a nap.

 @movingfrminside Thanks, Michelle! Keeping it simple, its how I roll. Well, sometimes :) Don't want to lock myself into a box that keeps me locked into simple. Complicated might be called for and if it is, I want it accessible! Hope you listened to yourself and got some rest!!!

Well when it comes to principle or respect there should be a black and white line.

The problem is that people negotiate too much on the things that should not be discussed.

 

Being there for your loved ones for instance or respecting the guy code, there should never be violations here.

Hey Freedom! Yes, I totally agree. Integrity is integrity and is non-negotiable. You're either coming from building or tearing down. The problem I see is that when people do something that is out of integrity they often label themselves as a bad person. Instead of going "Okay, I'm a good person, with good intentions and what I just did, oh man, that was so off. I have a TON of cleaning up and learning to do!!!", and then working their ass off at turning the behavior around.  We all learn from messing up and cleaning up. But yes, as you say, on is on and off is off. Straight up.@FreedomJackson

I adore your enthusiasm! And I love how simply you break things down in ALL your videos. Right now I am doing a great job at connecting with you, but need to get up and start my day. Glad to have both as options. :) xo

 @lcalandrella Laura!!! What I'm doing well right now is I am receiving your response, smiling, and feeling love and appreciation and letting my cells soak your words up. What I'm not doing so well is finding a more intelligible way to respond to you than this :) Improvement -> Good morning ladybird! So glad you got a little enthusiasm buzz before getting up and doing your day! Thanks for letting me know that my simplicity is reaching you! Knowing that is SUPER helpful and encouraging. Have a wonderful day filled with the movement of your own wonderfully radiant energy!!!
