Approach-Approach Conflict:
My family and I were discussing our annual family vacation for this summer. Our two choices were New York or California, two places I desperately wanted to go to, but could only choose one.

This is an avoidance-avoidance conflict where I am deciding between two negative goals. It was either to stay grounded and be bored or to clean and be
