It’s normal to become frustrated when things don’t go the way we think they should or when we don’t do as well as we think we should. Fortunately, it’s within our power to stop ‘shoulding’ on ourselves. Instead of editorializing reality and suffering over what-is, we can learn to develop a healthier response, which recognizes an obvious, but often forgotten truth: what we think ‘should be’ happening is simply a made up idea. Learning to accept reality as it shows up (and ourselves as we are), helps us respond to life…
More easily and joyfully.
