2nd Annual Give Up Your "Should" Day!

The Second Annual
Give Up Your "Should" Day
Is Here!


Thank you for coming! It is my deepest hope that by giving up at least one "should" for today that you will realize you have the ability and the right to have more peace and joy in your life anytime you choose. This is especially important to remember with the holiday season quickly approaching.


So for today, please use the comments section here to list at least one "should" you will give up for November 1st. Then of course you are welcome to pick it back up on November 2nd if you choose. If you want to be entered into a drawing for a signed copy of Absolutely Should-less or a "Should-less" T-shirt, then make sure you leave your e-mail address here, or send it to me at shouldless@gmail.com.


Good Luck! And enjoy your "should-less" day!

I'm going to start this thing. I'm willing to give up these "shoulds" for today:

I should be working at a regular job
I should have more energy
Airlines should offer flights which don't allow children under five.

What about YOU?

I shouldn't use the word should so much.

So . . . . today the should I am giving up is "I should have a distinct musical style, perfectly formed and be making perfect music in that style all the time." Feels good to give that up. Now I can allow my style to grow and change and be what it is. I can also recognize there is no such thing as "perfect!"

Elizabeth Kerri Mahon said...

I should be working on my book because I'm behind schedule.

I should be working a day job.

I should be able to give up the notion of perfection.

I should realize that being alone is better than being in a bad relationship.

Deep Dish said...

I should stop eating the leftover Halloween candy--even though it's hard to resist.

I should do more creative writing rather than blogging.

I should get in the holiday spirit because the most wonderful time of the year is almost here.

Question - Are shouldn't's as important as shoulds?

Damon L. Jacobs said...

Hi Doc P! Yes, I happen to believe that "shouldn't's" are the same thing as "shoulds". Do you have one in mind?

It agree, rather useful idea
