Today, we discuss fun facts about the Power of Gray; that in between space that isn't black or white,  all or nothing.  The Power of Gray is this middle ground, the precise blend of both perfect and not perfect.  Harnessing this balanced mindset can help neutralize the toxic "all or nothing" mentality where the worst case scenario is often times front and center (we call it catastrophizing).  Instead, the truth of that reality lies in that middle space that is critical to keeping a balanced, healthy, and positive perspective.Intro by: Derek KrykewyczInstagram@stopthinking_startdoing@blooming.brewerYouTubehttps://youtube.com/channel/UC-BbMyaxZp6D0amuhUt71ewPurchase your Journal here https://stopthinkingstartdoing.org/Mighty Network https://stop-thinking-start-doing.mn.co/landing?from=https%3A%2F%2Fstop-thinking-start-doing.mn.co%2Fgroups%2F6660906%3Futm_source%3Dmanual
