How to Make Shoulds Work for you: I would like you to replace the word should with the word choose. This may sound like a ridiculously simple solution, but words have a powerful effect on our perceptions, they create our reality and affect our attitude. For example, instead of I should eat more veggies, try saying, I choose to eat more veggies. Try reading each of the following statements below. I should eat better.................. I choose to eat better I should exercise more........... I choose to exercise more I should manage my stress.... I choose to manage my stress How did you feel after saying the first three?? Guilty, rebellious, frustrated, petulant? did you feel better when you read the second grouping? This language shift can help improve your success when...... I CHOOSE to improve my health and wellness. To me this looks like... I CHOOSE to be a doer instead of a follower, which I define as..... I CHOOSE to take charge of my life by doing the following things that I think are important.... Try this out - I believe you will find that your everyday interactions with health, wellness food , and fitness become less stressful, more relaxed and begins to flow more easily than you thought possible. CHOOSE:) With Love, Beth Schulz and Ryan Schulz
