2. It's Not Supposed to Be Like This
It's a common thought about other people, situations, or even yourself. Underneath the unfairness of how it's supposed to be are thoughts about how you think it should be.
The problem is the word "should" has the power to tear down people, relationships and dreams.
Thinking that something SHOULD be a certain way is setting you up for frustration, disappointment, judgement, maybe even resentment or bitterness.
Because when you think it SHOULD be a certain way… it’s your thinking. It’s not a fact. It’s not necessarily true. It’s a thought.
And other people aren’t you and have their own thinking. Likely their own shoulds.
Should thinking keeps your mind closed to possibilities, opportunities or creativity.
It can keep you locked in negative communication patterns.
