Most of us go kicking and screaming into change because at the root of most of our changes are other peoples’ expectations, guilt, “shoulds” and demands. Living life based on the shoulds and expectations of others means we are NOT living our own life.
Make 2010 the year that you “stop shoulding on thyself!”
When our motivations are fueled by shoulds, we’ll find it hard to set clear priorities, goals and intentions let alone take action on them. The key is to shift your motivation for making changes and setting intentions by tuning out the exterior “shoulds” and instead tuning into our own internal yearnings and desires.
Another great step: instead of using disempowering phrases like “I should,” “I have to,” or “I need to,”…try using empowering phrases like “I want to,” “I would love to,” “I can,” or “I am.”
Happy Blooming!
