Nagging mental tapes that tell you what you should be doing are draining and anxiety-producing. They take you out of the present moment and into a world of self-spun fantasy. When your ‘shoulds’ run the show, you believe the stressful stories of past and future that were weaved with worry. That makes it difficult for you to appreciate the beauty of this instant. Rather than ‘should-ing’ on yourself, try to get present and fully experience the moment you’re in. It’s the direct path to greater satisfaction for a very simple reason…
It’s the only thing that’s real.
