The Shoulds

Today I woke with a violent case of the shoulds.

I should do the laundry. I should do the dishes. I should mop the rest of the floors. I should go grocery shopping, make dinner, clean the upstairs.

The shoulds are as infiltrating as the flu and the symptoms are almost as debilitating. Lucky for me I took a yoga class from Kelsey Chorus and her wise words echoed through my body; “stop shoulding on yourself”.

’Stop shoulding on yourself.’

That sounds like a cure to the ever daunting to do list.

A cure is exactly what I needed. While my get-to list sits unchecked after my yoga class I strapped on my skates. Sure, I should probably get to the shoulds, but for now I’m going to skate hearts into the ice.

You get one chance to live this life don’t spend it shoulding on yourself, spend it living.

<3 Namaste,
