Drop the "Should"

I’m noticing my inner dialogue more these days. I should have…I say it more than I want to. I should be doing yoga more or I should’ve lifted weights today.

I’m noticing that inner dialogue is not helpful for me.

I’m practicing dropping the should and reminding myself why I want to do yoga or why I want to lift weights. Yoga really relaxes me and gives me time to focus on my breath. Lifting weights makes me feel good.

It’s easy to say to ourselves I should be doing this or that…but why do we want to do more of these things.

What is the thing you want to do more of? Why?

Poem of the Day:

The runner’s ponytail sways
Side to side, her eyes ablaze 
Enthusiasm for the road 
A time, place to let it all go 
Both feet are off the ground
Look! You are flying now

Drop the should, would, could
It’s all good! 
Let the ponytail sway
It’s your time to play
