Mindful Monday Inspiration #27


In a recent Huffington Post article, inspiration coach Hannah Braime dissected her daily dialog and removed a terrible term, "should."  Having used the word countless times in the past, Hannah realized that telling herself that she should be doing more or being more wasn't actually helping her do more or be more, rather it left her feeling not adequate enough.  In addition, she felt as though she was reinforcing the negatives and the fact that she was not doing something!

If you have found yourself "shoulding" yourself to shame, try utilizing these 3 tips when revamping your conversation repertoire: 

1.  Focus on the benefits
2.  Focus on how the activity fits with your values
3.  Focus on accepting and exploring reality
