Why You Should Never Say Never
Do you ever find yourself thinking any of the following:
He NEVER support me.
I ALWAYS say the wrong thing.
He is ALWAYS grumpy.
She NEVER cleans up after herself.
No one EVER listens to me.
They are ALWAYS negative.
She NEVER talks about anyone but herself.
He is ALWAYS on his phone.
They NEVER reciprocate in our relationship.
My prayers are NEVER answered.
You get the idea.
I call this THINKING IN ABSOLUTES or BLACK AND WHITE THINKING.
It is where you see things in extremes.
Things are either amazing or awful.
Look for phrases like always or never.
Those phrases are often a red flag that our brain is lying to us.
Humans are complex.
They are rarely ALWAYS one way or NEVER the other.
When we are stuck in absolute thinking it disconnects us in our relationships.
If this is something you struggle with, I get it and I can help.
Let's chat.
