"I should be further along by now."
"I should be doing more."
"I should be handling this better."
How many times has that word should crept into your thoughts this week? 💭
In behavioral health, we often see how "should" creates a gap between where we are and where we feel we "must" be. This internal pressure can lead to anxiety, guilt, and a sense of inadequacy.
Today, try replacing "I should" with "I am allowed to."
✨ I am allowed to move at my own pace.
✨ I am allowed to prioritize my rest.
✨ I am allowed to be a work in progress.
Healing and growth aren't linear. If you’re finding it hard to quiet those critical inner voices, counseling can help you build a more compassionate relationship with yourself.
