When life feels dull and we can’t seem to find the motivation to get ourselves out of the doldrums, we might not be living according to our own desires, but feeling dragged down by our own ‘shoulds‘ or those imposed on us from others. Healthy motivation rarely comes from feeling that we should. ‘Shoulding’ on ourselves drains our energy, so even when we do try to accomplish what we think we should, we won’t have the cleanest energy available to succeed. Letting ourselves off the hook from our own and other’s expectations, frees us to do…

Our best work.
