Don’t “Should” All Over Yourself

Don’t “Should” All Over Yourself

Hehehehe…I love that phrase.

Not only does it make me giggle, but it has also made a significant impact on my life.

Thank you Jason Sorge for quoting Brennan Manning that fateful snowy evening sitting across from each other reviewing my Meyers-Briggs personality type (which made me very angry for being an “F” when I thought for years I was a “T”). It was an amazing company retreat thanks to you and the help you offered.

I remember being shocked at what he said, and then realizing how often I “should” all over myself.

The rolling tape in my head often sounds like this:

  • “Jen, you should do this…”
  • “Jen, you should do that…”
  • “Jen, you should have it all figured out at this age.”
  • “Jen, you should…”

Well…today I taped over that message and I’m allowing myself to NOT have it all together, and to relax. One day at a time.

It’s all going to workout, so Jen, don’t “should” all over yourself…
