How do you treat the "should" word?
"Should" is one of those words that we need to be mindful of in our self-speak. "I should do this... I should be more like so and so..." Should doesn't achieve anything except make us feel inadequate and drain our energy. Choose your words wisely and truly listen to the way that you speak to yourself. Would you speak to your friends that way? You are the best friend you will have in this lifetime. You will be with yourself every step of the way.
Be supportive, kind and loving towards yourself and you will discover that others will also be supportive and loving in return. You are loved and special just the way you are .You don't have to be like anyone else, except yourself.
