Contraries

I wanted to be sincere and outrageous and friendly and rude and experimental and conventional.

Theoretically, certain of your attributes wouldn’t seem to apply to the same person. But here in real life, it possible to feel both shy and bold. Humble and proud. Lazy and ambitious. You get the idea.

Practice: List a pair of apparent contraries that apply to you. Then inhabit it — by which I mean, notice that you are a curious mix of qualities and bring both contraries to the present moment. This one, right now.
