dualities of God

Examples of dualities in our lives

Some of the dualities of mental health:
Agency (choice) and happenstance
Relationships and self-differentiation
Worth and Humility
Acceptance and Constant Work
Microaggressions and Good Intentions
Apathy and Passion
Age 4 and Age 40

Mental health is complicated because of internal workings and also because of external things, particularly because we exist in relationship.

Internal Dualities of mental health:
Worth and Humility - self-esteem, Child of God identity, and The Ego
Acceptance and Constant Work - living in reality but putting in some effort where we can
Apathy and Passion - letting God do His work, but also being zealous in ours
Age 4 and Age 40 - God sees and cares for us at every stage and knits our past, present, and future

Ephesians 4:6

The Truth about Mental health, just like every part of us is that it has many, many sides and life in relationship: it's not so simple, but wholeheartedly worthwhile
