Stop Shoulding on Yourself
Oct 28, 2022
Should is a punishment.
There, I said it – when you should on yourself or when others should on you, punishment is involved. When you say, “I should have gone to the gym today,” you’re wagging an imaginary finger at yourself, blaming yourself for laziness or distractedness or an inability to manage your time.
None of that is productive.
If you want to go to the gym each day, shoulding on yourself isn’t the way to get it done. Lay out your workout clothes the night before, set your alarm a little early and go to the gym.
Whatever you’re shoulding on yourself about, focus on the solution, implement it and move on.
Ahhhhhhh…adulting is fun!
