"Stop shoulding on yourself!"
Dr. Jane Hathaway
Wise words from a very wise woman.
Dr. Hathaway frequently urged me, when I was struggling with life as a teenager, to stop telling myself, "I should do this" or "I should be that."
Similar to when I would say to my mother, "But they are..." and she would immediately ask me,
"Who are they?" and then, "Why do you have to do what they are doing?"
Also a wise woman.
Not "shoulding" on myself continues to be a work in progress, but one in which I make greater and greater strides with each passing year.
Life is so short - better to do the things I want to - with joy and enthusiasm, than to do them halfheartedly or with resentment because I feel I should.
That's my tip. Stop shoulding on yourself in the New Year.
Happy 2014!
May the new year bring good health, peace and prosperity to all!
