76 | Thought traps: Tricky Shoulds


Are you ‘shoulding’ on yourself?  (Don’t lie!  We all do it)  And it’s easy for those tricky ‘shoulds’ and ‘shouldn’ts” to start defining your emotions and behaviors.  I should get up earlier.  I should work out.  I should get more sleep.  I shouldn’t complain so much.  I shouldn’t be upset. And what about what others should or shouldn’t do or be?  Find out why this is distorted thinking and how it undermines who you are called to be and what you are called to do.  Let us know how the ‘shoulds’ are showing up for you!
