Something I hear a lot is "I should...". We all say it about any number of things.
I should exercise more.
I should eat better food.
I should walk more.
I should be nicer to myself.
I should not care so much about what others think of me.
The problem is we attach so much guilt to the word 'should'. We beat ourselves up if we didn't do something we 'should'. We dwell on all the things we 'should' do.
What if you changed that one word to something else? How much difference can one word make? Well, you tell me...
I should could exercise more.
I should could eat better food.
I should could walk more.
I should could be nicer to myself.
I should could not care so much about what others think of me.
All those things now seem more possible!
Stop attaching guilt to the things you tell yourself and start assuming all those things are possible.
Just try replacing should with could. It could just work!
