754: The Weight of Should's (Mindset & Self-Care)


Listen Later

Carrying around endless “shoulds” can feel like a crushing backpack of pebbles. This episode helps you set them down and trade them for truth and freedom.

For years I lived under the weight of “shoulds”. I should stay in this job, I should be more grateful, I should run my business like they do. It left me exhausted, resentful, and depleted. When I started questioning those shoulds, everything changed. In this conversation, I’ll walk you through how to swap shoulds for wants and lighten your load.

Action Steps:

-Notice your shoulds: Pay attention to how often they creep into your thoughts.

-Question the rules: Ask whether a should truly belongs to you or if it’s borrowed.

-Swap language: Replace “I should” with “I want” or “I choose” and feel the difference.

-Write them down: Identify three shoulds and rewrite them into aligned wants or no’s.

-Seek truth, not perfection: Remember that freedom comes from living your own definition of success.
