Our brains love to think in binary options:

wrong OR right;

good OR bad;

nice OR mean;

hot OR cold, etc.

This type of binary thinking leads to so much drama, frustration, and irritation.

Wanna know a quick pro-tip???

This week's pro-tip is to raise awareness around when your brain is trying to trick you into believing there are only two options. Instead of using "OR" substitute in the "AND" statement.

For example, my brain loves to tell me, "either the kitchen is clean OR i am a terrible mom."

Instead, revise these thoughts with an "AND" statement:

The kitchen is a mess AND

I am irritated AND

that's ok AND

I am a good mom AND

that has nothing to do with how many dishes are in the sink AND

I can ask my kids for help AND

they can be grumpy about chores AND

i don't like chores either AND

there is no problem here!

Now you try!

This trick is so simple AND it is also profound.

Get it!
