Episode 238: Living with Duality: Embracing the Good and Bad
Do you ever feel like you're caught between believing you're either a good person or a bad person? This kind of black-and-white thinking can lead to frustration, especially when trying to change unwanted behaviors. The truth is, we all embody both positive and negative qualities—this duality is a part of being human.
In this episode, I explore how embracing this dual nature is key to creating lasting change. Trying to label ourselves as entirely good or bad creates unnecessary resistance, especially when we face challenges. Instead, accepting that we're both gives us the freedom to be honest with ourselves and move forward without shame or self-pity.
Through client stories and personal insights, you'll discover how acknowledging your imperfections strengthens your ability to grow. Rather than striving for perfection, you’ll learn how to use this balance of good and bad to generate more compassion, commitment, and the confidence to continue making positive changes.
