Hold two relevant truths together

A situation seems to demand that only one side can be true.

Everyday practice

Try these steps

  1. Write one statement that fits the facts.
  2. Write another relevant statement that may seem opposed but can also be true.
  3. Join them with 'and,' then choose an action that acknowledges both.

An example

I need rest, and this deadline matters. I can ask which part is essential today.

Reflect

Can both statements stand without either being minimized?

Next time

Look for decisions that accommodate both where possible; acknowledge real tradeoffs.
