Maybe you needed to see this today.
Relationship game changer… allowing two truths to co-exist:
@drelizabethfedrick
We get fooled into thinking that these truths cannot exist at the same time, yet we absolutely can. When we see we can, we allow ourselves to grow in ways that help us to heal from our pasts and become the people we were always meant to be.
- We can have hard conversations AND stay safe for each other.
- We can enjoy spending time together AND want alone time.
- We can be upset AND still be kind.
- We can be busy & stressed AND make time for each other.
- We can be sexually attracted AND not want to have sex daily.
- We can be sexually content AND still want to pursue more sex.
- We can appreciate their efforts AND express an unmet need.
- We can go through a rough patch AND not give upon each other.
- We can feel triggered AND remain calm in expressing the trigger.
- We can appreciate they are doing their best AND request change.
- We can love each other deeply AND still get annoyed.
Which of these spoke to you? Were there more than one? How do you feel seeing these?
More goodness:
- Letters unsent
- Where do you start when you don’t know where to start?
- Generational curses: are they breakable?
- Those who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it!
- Revenge: is it necessary or not?
- Mindfulness Resources
- Need to start over in life, or need to make life-altering changes, but don’t know how?
- Life will continue to go on… choose the direction you wish to go
- What is the purpose of an Anger Journal, and why you need one!
- Everyday is a new beginning. Take a deep breath, smile, and START AGAIN.
- The power of stepping away!
- 16 Phrases People Use When They’re Angry Inside but Don’t Want to Show It, (and how to move beyond.)
- How to trigger your Narcissist (not that you should), and what you can do to live a sane and healthy life
- Why we’re so attracted to people who end up abusing us
- Reality-show syndrome has changed how we interact and what we find acceptable behavior in others
- What is Toxic Femininity? Is it similar to Toxic Masculinity?
- See the light in others, and treat them as if that is all you see.
- People generally see what they look for, and hear what they listen for.
- Never underestimate the power of planting a seed!

Love it. I call these both/ands. A lot of times we think we’re supposed to be black-and-white, no gray. Life is full of grays, and it’s best we embrace the nuance.

Exactly! The “pick a side” approach doesn’t work well in so many situations. There’s so many nuances in life and it takes emotional and mental energy to see them and to be able to work with them. It only feels easier to pick a side, but it leads to more misunderstandings in the long run, unless everyone chooses to ignore any other facys or realities except for their own!

Yes! People think of things as black and white but most things are actually grey. A middle ground exists most of the time.

Exactly 💯! We’ve become brainwashed to pick a side, when there aren’t just 2 sides, but many choices, and we can live happily with many!

The truth that speaks most to me is the last one: “We can love each other deeply AND still get annoyed.” I can think of a number of relationships in the past that have ended because of our failure to accept this truth.

This seems to be beyond many people unfortunately. I wish we could all learn these truths instead of feeling a need to be polarized and pick a side!
