TURNING YOUR SHOULDS TO COULDS
Should is used to give advice and make recommendations and to talk about obligation, duty and what is expected to happen
Could can be used to ask for permission or to make a request
Should is more limiting. When you say to yourself, "I should go to the gym or I should lose 10 pounds," it applies an obligation and limits what is possible. Shoulds can make your subconscious rage when you end up doing something you don't want to out of obligation or duty.
Could opens more possibilities for choice. "I could go to the gym or I could lose 10 pounds." When you are in a place of choice if gives you the option to consciously choose YES or NO.
How can you turn your SHOULDS INTO COULDS? Notice today when you use the word should or something similar like need to, or have to. Turn it into a COULD, want to or love to, and consciously chose YES or NO.
I feel like I should go to the grocery store after work. If I turn it into a could there is more possibility. I could go to the grocery store after work... now I can commit to a yes or no.
