“The practice above all practices is to relinquish the immature desire to be taken care of in false belonging and to parent our own originality. Again and again, our dreams demand leadership from us, calling our life’s vision forward into the world, step by tenderbrave step.”
― Toko-pa Turner

Shoulds add to stress levels.

Should have gotten more done by now.
Should be better at…
Should be more like…
Shouldn’t be so…

When you notice yourself ‘shoulding’, try taking pause. Bring awareness to your body and feelings, to your thoughts and state of being.

Get curious. Ask yourself… what do I really need or want right now? Where do I want to go from here? What’s a different approach I can take to this?
