There is a voice is my head that says I “should do should I?
The peace of “To beâ€, rather stress of “To doâ€
As I have nourished the ability to just be with myself and to be loving of who I am independent of what I have done or achieved then the funny part is the things I previously struggle to take action on suddenly arise within me naturally. Although it freaks the should do bird out to discover that is ok just to be me and just to do what I can do. The whip of get on it, is not needed and it is ineffectual. This is a big voice that I deal with, it has a big affect on me .So if you feel you have a big noise “should do bird” on your shoulder try not listening to it for while or try listening to it and question the demands it is giving you. What you may discover is the peace you’re looking for does come from tending its order but knowing that there was nothing wrong in the first place.
Well written Ewan – I can relate to this – I invited some people over recently because I felt I “should” – not so much from a feeling of joy – – afterwards I decided that I won’t in future because it didn’t feel right on a few levels and so I shall now work on not feeling guilty about that decision! So that was a timely article for me – thank you!
