I once had a therapist tell me that there is no should. How can that be true? I am a shouldaholic. I should be doing laundry right now, I should be eating healthier, I should be spending less money... What does that mean really? That I am going to be doing these things or am I not? If should were a color it would be gray, somewhere in between doing something and not doing something. Is "should" a way to pile on guilt without actually getting off my ass and doing the activity? I don't really want to clean, but if I at least feel guilty about not cleaning, that is better than just letting it go. Except, either way, my house is messy, only now I have spent so much energy worrying about it, that I just want to go to sleep.

What if we all lived like this. No more gray area, just do it or don't. Just think of the amount of time that will be freed up if we stopped thinking of what should be done, and just do it, or forget about it and move on? My goal for the next month is to stop using the "S" word altogether. Maybe by doing this, I will actually get more done, or at least stop caring so much if I don't.
