When Should I 'Should' Myself? | BABH S1Ep97

EPISODE 97: When Should I 'Should' Myself?

Is there a good time to use 'should', or is it always bad?

Should is a word around which there is a lot of conflicting dogma; Dogma which can create a lot of mixed messages and confusion.

Generally, in the personal development world, 'should' is considered bad and you're generally encouraged to stop should-ing all over yourself.

Society generally champions the 'should' in the name of correctness, obligation and proof that you are worthy of being part of the clan.

In my opinion, which I'll be sharing with you today, these mixed messages are very polarising. And the trouble with polarising (As we're seeing so much in the world today) is that a nuanced discussion is lost, we miss the positive aspects of different perspectives and lose the gift that each perspective could bring.

In this episode we're going to take a nuanced look at the self directed 'should'.

I'll offer you my perspective on

• The dark side of 'should'
• If you're suffering from it how to get free
• The often missed situation where is self-directed 'should' is good.

My aim today is to help you find a place of more authentic self-love and kindness, free from inner harshness and miss placed judgement so you can feel more connected to who you really are.

So hit that play button and let's jump in!

NOTES:

The Dark Side

Should based on someone else's idea/ideal/formula etc which is not truly aligned

Self directed 'should' as judgement

• Harsh
• Creates internal pressure
  • friction
  • stuckness
  • donkey hooves
• As a mismatch
  • confusion
  • disconnection
  • loss of self

The Light Side

Should as honest self-confession and a healing admission of your denials; self prescribed medicine which heals.

Underlying energy

• Softness
• Openness
• realisation
• aligned (for you)

When You're Jammed Up with a 'Should'

• Soothe and soften
• Recognise it's just an idea
• Accept where you (actually) are
• Self dialogue
  • internal togetherness
  • compassion
  • allowing

This takes the pressure of, un-jams the energy and gives you space to find what's really true for you.

Signals & Action

SHOULD > pressure/friction > you're not aligned > soothe, soften, space, re-connect

SHOULD > relief/realisation > aligned and productive

The August Abundance Assembly

I ran a live course several years ago that will help you with this and more… PLUS I realised today that I have the recordings…

So here’s what I’ve done…

I’ve put the recordings into a course and made it available today!

It’s called The August Abundance Assembly and I ran it over 4 weeks.

That means you can follow along at your own pace when you join The August Abundance Assembly; and shift your relationship to money and abundance.

With NPA at it's heart, including powerful new NPA Frames and deep inquiries that will get you clear and congruent about what truly matters to you and how abundance and money flow best in your life.

And it doesn't have to take you 4 weeks because I’ve made ALL the recording available to you right after you sign up.

The 4 core modules cover:

Your Natural Abundance
In module 1 we will focus on getting connected to how your manifestation pathways are already functioning beautifully. You will become super clear about what truly matters to you and where the path to your natural abundance lays.

The Trouble with Money
In module 2 we will turn our attention to your 'Money Energies'. We'll be identifying and clearing whatever yucky stuff you have attached to money, looking at who you become with money and ultimately balancing your money energies out until they become crystal clear.

Your Money Marriage
In week 3 we get relational. We take a good look at the relational dynamics at play between you and money, indulge in a little 'Money is from Mars, I am from Venus' couples therapy and re-kindle the spark that somehow got lost along the way!

Seriously though, I've found with NPA that looking at a situation through the lens of relationship is an incredibly powerful, and wonderfully healing thing - so this module is particularly powerful!

Your Way To Wealth
In week 4 we get to explore a beautiful future for you & money. The new wholesome money marriage will guide you as to how that wishes to express itself now, and we'll look at how that energy can be supercharged going forward!

What you'll get:

• Downloadable worksheets for all the prep and process work
• Recording of all the calls, conveniently split into easy to digest, organised and navigable chunks
• Access to support through the comments where you can get any questions answered and share your experience with the community
