Summary
Do you need rest or to work harder? Should you focus on your end goal or stay present to what you need right now? Is what you're doing too much or not enough?
This week, I'm diving into how learning to live within contradictions instead of either/or thinking can help us both more forward towards our goals and feel better within our days.
What I said:
"Step into the breadth of everything that is in the IN-BETWEEN instead of thinking about things as EITHER-OR."
"The point of having goals is to help you decide your very first step of action, not put you on a forever-path."
"Building relationships with people does not mean that you have to sacrifice who you are."
"Maybe it's the all-or-nothing thinking and not your failing as a human that's keeping you stuck."

30:21 - Take care of yourself or stay flexible
37:10 - Too fast...Too much or Too slow...Not enough aka How to proceed if you feel like there's SO MUCH you can't control.

| 0:23.2 | Hey, y'all, it's Tiffany. |
| 0:24.7 | Welcome back to another raise your hand say yes. |
| 0:27.1 | I am excited about this episode and I just want to kind of preface what I'm going to be saying |
| 0:35.1 | with the disclaimer, the asterisk, that for some of you, |
| 0:41.3 | this is going to be a challenging episode. And we'll talk about why. I'm not going to be |
| 0:47.6 | sharing anything that's not earth-shattering. But what I am going to be talking about this |
| 0:51.8 | week is giving you, giving me, giving us, giving all of us, |
| 0:56.7 | giving the world, permission to live in the contradictions, to live in a way that is not all or |
| 1:05.8 | nothing that's really we're looking at living beyond all or nothing and really stepping into instead of an |
| 1:13.2 | either or way of thinking about things to step into the breadth and the expansiveness of everything |
| 1:21.4 | that is in between those two extremes. And I realized that I haven't talked a lot about this, about really |
| 1:30.9 | like embracing the contradictions because I don't know why I haven't. I talk about it a lot |
| 1:37.1 | when I teach. But one of the things that I hear often and the reason that I'm talking about it today |
| 1:41.7 | is that I find that we all want rules. |
| 1:46.5 | And can you just tell me the 10 things to do or the 10 ways to live? |
| 1:50.5 | And if you heard the episode that I did last week about how to have the life that you want, |
| 1:57.7 | and I laid out those 10 steps and I talked about, these are things I want |
| 2:01.8 | you to think about. And also, this is a completely incomplete list. And also, I might say something |
| 2:08.5 | that makes you say, but I want to do the opposite. And guess what? Great. Do the opposite. |
| 2:14.1 | Because I don't claim to have all of the answers. I would be aware of anybody who does |
| 2:20.4 | claim to have all of the answers. I don't think that there is a 100% guaranteed can't fail |
