Stop Saying, "I Should"

from The Optimistic Outlook with John Eades · host John Eades

On a Father's Day round of golf, John's 14-year-old son missed a putt and said the words so many of us say without thinking: "I should have made that." That small moment turned into a bigger lesson about the language we use with ourselves. "Shame is the chains that keep bad habits in place." Swapping "I should" for "I choose" turns self-judgment into self-direction. Grab John's book, The Optimistic Outlook on Amazon.
