Ep 11: Letting Go of "Should"
We generally agree on a lot of "shoulds" such as:\n-we should eat healthy foods\n-we should exercise\n-people should be nice\nWhen we believe something or someone "should" be different, then we often feel frustrated or resentful or disconnected or even angry.\n\nBelieving anything or anyone "should" be different, can be a problem if we don't ultimately want to FEEL the way we do (it can be helpful to question our well-intended "shoulds.")\n\nWhat is the upside to thinking that someone or something (including ourselves) "should" be different? Does it serve me to believe that?\n\nChoosing to believe that everyone (including me) is exactly how they are supposed to be, really serves me; it helps me to access love and kindness, compassion, and empathy, rather than resisting who they ARE being.\n\nSame principle applies to ourselves; if we think we should be different in any way, it makes it challenging to have kindness and compassion on ourselves.\n\nBook a FREE session: https://mycoachmichelle.as.me/
