Trying to stop "should'ing" on myself
In therapy I've become aware of just how much and how chronically I "should" on myself.
I should have done better.
I should be doing better.
I should not be feeling what I am.
I should be working.
I should not be struggling.
I should be doing more.
And soooo many other should's...
Saw the mighty @interstellarrpuffin sharing this the other day.
And I was very grateful.
Grateful to see some alternatives to "should".
Because sometimes it's hard to know what to replace "should" with.
And it's very much a work in progress for me.
