"You should know better by now." "You should be better at this by now." You should, you should, you should, blah, blah, blah.
Those "shoulds" are Trauma Brain trying to distract & confuse & demotivate you. They mean exactly jack & sh*t in terms of realistic recovery.
Focus in.

Yeah I'm saying pick something you actually want to do rather than something you think you should do.

Try not to get caught up in the "shoulds" of life. There is no one right way to live, you get to carve your own path! Be kind and stay curious. And give yourself grace when you mess up or feel lost along the way. We're all just winging it! 🫶🏻

Do people sometimes tell other people what they *should* do or think or read? Yes. Is that bad in some contexts? Yes. Is that the same as making your shoulds into government policy with the full force of the state? No. No it is not.

Don't just say what you're doing, but paint a picture of a narrative. And the narrative ideally should be exciting or scary, like a real story.

All of my woulds and all of my coulds
In a big gray room together
All my regrets and all of my shoulds
Separate tables eating dinner
Everything I could've done better
The reverb could've been a bit wetter
And now I hear that it doesn't matter anyway
So why all the pain?

shoulds don’t really pertain to right now. we’re trying to contain all the violations, everyone knows we shouldn’t have snakes on the plane, but we do, so we have to do what we have to to balance that against the lifetime it takes to build politicians who know the law and procedures that keep order

Omgoodness. Im sorry to hear that. Do whatever you need to protect yourself. There are no “shoulds” except to protect your health & peace.
I’m in the midst of a health issue right now that might render me deaf. Autoimmune- stress exacerbated. We have to take care of ourselves.
