Powerback 183: From "Should" to honoring your wants

Most people are living on autopilot, following what they should do, instead of tapping into honoring and acting on what they actually want and need instead. Past circumstances, situations, people, and conversations have led you to believe what you should do. Those thoughts, feelings, and actions become beliefs, which become actions, which become subconscious standards. So, it’s really easy to forget or to stop and ask yourself, “What do I actually want or need in this situation?”That's why today's Powerback® episode is about recognizing how many times we actually say and do what we “should” do, and learning how to recognize and lean into what we actually want instead.We’ll walk through:Notice the “should”s that pop up in your day with this challengeThe consequences of living through the “should”sStart by honoring your wants in your micro-decisionsHarness the power of the pauseThe incredible ripple effect of micro decisions where you choose youUse the Powerback® Process to break the habit of using the word “should”Resources from this episodeLAST CALL!
