Stop Saying Should

Skip the self-talk of "I should."

"I should grow my career."
"I should be more productive."
"I should build my network."

This sets you up to live via duty or obligation, not choice, freedom, excitement, or joy.

So, replace "should" with language like ....

"I'd like to grow my career."
"It'd benefit me to be more productive."
"I want to build my network."

This subtle shift can change everything for you, and catapult you to do work that makes you come alive.
