Listen "Are the 'shoulds' ruling your life? "

Episode Synopsis

How many times a day do you hear this word come out of your mouth?  I ‘should’ go to the gym, I ‘should’ got for a walk, I ‘should’ call my friend, I ‘should’ clean the house, I ‘should’ do the grocery shopping, I ‘should’ stay back at work and finish that report, I ‘cant’ go out I have too much to do, ‘I shouldn’t feel like this.  The list goes on.

So, what’s wrong with saying ‘should’.  I’ll give you a hint.

How do you feel when you say ‘should’?
If you’re like most people it probably creates a heavy feeling.  It’s a burden, a chore, another expectation, something else to add to you to do list.  It can create guilt and shame.  The more you use these rigid words the more disappointed, angry, depressed or guilty you are likely to feel.

Listen to find out one easy way of tackling the 'shoulds'.
