My book, F THE SHOULDS. DO THE WANTS. has officially been out in the world for two freaking years. Wow.
And this week it is part of a big e-book sale! Get it or gift it for only $1.99!
It’s really two year birthday was May 10th..but I knew this sale was starting this week, so I delayed my anniversary share for you!
To celebrate, I am going to share some quotes from the book with the hopes that they support and empower you!
“Once you begin to release the shoulds, you’ll discover that you and only you are the authority in your life. Once you become aware of all the shoulds coming at you each day, you will be able to reframe them and see that every time you see, feel, or thing a should, you actually have a choice. “
“When you are living in the shoulds, you are making the outside world’s perception of you more important than your perception of you.”
“All our lives we are collecting information, opinions, advertisements, and directives. We are collecting shoulds without knowing it! This is how I should look, dress, talk, assert myself (or not), work, eat, take care of myself, act in a relationship, create a family, etc. We have been brainwashed in a way. There has been a huge machine of both fear and love working to create these shoulds.”
“You can be a generous, good-hearted person while still living your wants, and the bonus is that you will show up with an even clearer head, heart, energy and intentions.”
“Shifting from shoulds to wants doesn’t automatically mean that you do only what serves you. It means that you put more attention and intention into what you are doing and why.”
“So many of us feel shitty about ourselves on a daily basis because we have allowed the voices outside of us to determine how the voice inside of us feels.”
“Stop making yourself wrong for what works for you. Allow yourself to be yourself. Allow yourself to trust yourself. Allow yourself to listen to yourself.”
“A judgment can have power over you only if it is something that you believe to be true.”
“Ask yourself why you do the things that you do. What is really motivating you? Is it for your own well-being and desires? Or the desire to please others, fit in, and feel worthy?”
“You will be judged by someone, somewhere, no matter what - so do you. Leave the judging to other people. Allow yourself to be yourself instead of being the one who is judging you for being you.”
I truly hope if you have read the book that it has made even just a glimmer of an impact in how you think about yourself and your life choices.
This life is YOURS and we have no freaking clue when it will end.
Think about what will really matter when you are at the end.
Think about what really matters NOW.
Life is challenging, please stop making it even harder for yourself to be in it, to be you, to enjoy it.
