Shoulds consist of rules that you have determined for yourself that guide your thinking, your emotions, and your actions. Here are a few of the shoulds that commonly plaque people:
I should be the perfect lover, friend, parent, teacher, student, or spouse.
I should not make mistakes.
I should look attractive.
I should keep my emotions under control and not feel anger, jealousy, or depression.
I should not complain.
I should not depend on others, but take care of myself.
There are so many more of these that I have described in previous blog posts and you may have some of your favorite shoulds that you could add to this list.
Whatever your shoulds, they can cause pain, discomfort, and emotional destress.
