Unhooking from the shoulds gets harder and harder when you get tired and fatigued, and you get tired faster when you are tense - it becomes a viscous cycle. Learning to respond and unhook from these unhelpful thoughts when you’re uncomfortable takes work…

Much like a bus driver that has unruly passengers climb aboard ever single day you have a choice.

If you engage and argue with them then who’s driving the bus?

If you listen to them then you’re not getting to your destination.

What is totally in my control is the process - and that I can strive to do better every day.
