Episode 203- Why and How to Eliminate the "Shoulds" and "Coulds" from Your Vocabulary

from Counselling Conversations with Julie · host Julie Thomas

Today, we’re diving into a topic that can transform the way you think, speak, and feel about yourself: Why and How to Eliminate the “Shoulds” and “Coulds” from Your Vocabulary. Have you ever caught yourself saying, 'I should have done this,' or 'I could have done that'? These words may seem harmless, but they often carry a heavy weight of guilt, regret, and self-judgment. They can keep us stuck in a cycle of negativity, holding us back from embracing self-compassion and living in the present moment. In this episode, we’ll explore why these “should” and “coulds”are so damaging to our mental health and how you can replace them with empowering language that fosters growth, acceptance, and confidence. You’ll learn practical strategies to reframe your inner dialogue and create a mindset that supports your well-being. So, if you’re ready to let go of the guilt and step into a more compassionate way of thinking, this episode is for you.  Thank you for joining me today.
