Here's my introduction to the 'Quadrants' element of the AQAL model. Human beings are short-sighted and selfish. We tend to tell stories about reality that leave out important parts, or that emphasize certain aspects to bend the truth. "I'm doing great in life because of my brilliance and hard work! ...But YOU only have success because of PRIVILEGE!" Or the other way around: "I've had so many struggles and challenges! The world is too hard on me! ...But not you, your problems are all in your head!" If you want to understand reality more accurately and figure out how to create smarter solutions, you need to take a holistic view. People hate that word... "holistic." It sounds like "homeopathic," which is just hocus pocus nonsense. But in reality, "holistic" just means "dealing with the whole thing" as opposed to just a part of it or an angle on it. So a NON-holistic solution to weight loss would be "just inject Ozempic." That treats the problem like it's all just your body being too hungry. But a holistic solution would be more like... well, where do you get food? What do you eat? How much? Why? Are there emotional reasons? Are there habits you can change? Can you get to a store that has better food? Can you learn more about food choices? What about exercise? What about your friends and family? Are they encouraging you to make poor choices? Do you believe you even CAN lose weight? ...and so on and so on. The Quadrants from the AQAL model can be used as a holistic rubric to check and make sure you're looking at a problem from all angles so you don't leave anything out. In this video, I use an example of a girl who had a viral video about a bad date on TikTok last month to show her how her results were almost entirely her own fault. Instead of asking her TikTok girls for support and creating a culture of helplessness, she could have just made better choices... but only if she can see them first! https://linktr.ee/hoe_math ⬆️ EVERYTHING I DO ⬆️
