Break Free from the “Should” Cycle: Embrace Self-Kindness and Achieve Your Goals

Have you ever caught yourself saying, “I should go to the gym,” “I should eat healthier,” or “I should lose weight”? That constant cycle of “shoulding” yourself can lead to shame, guilt, and frustration. In this video, I explore the harmful effects of the word “should” and why it often causes us to rebel or resent the very goals we’re trying to achieve. 

Instead of motivating us, “should” statements feel like demands that take away our choices. But what if we stopped shaming ourselves and started focusing on our unmet needs instead? I share practical steps to shift from self-criticism to self-compassion, how to reframe your goals, and how to find solutions that align with your values and bring joy, rather than dread. Let’s stop “shoulding” ourselves to death and start living with intention and empathy.

Join me on this journey to let go of guilt and discover a new way to approach life’s challenges—one that fosters growth and self-kindness.

Thanks for watching and always remember: small tweaks lead to massive peaks!
