Show Notes
The language we use has a huge influence on our perceptions, feelings and actions. So often we talk about what we or others should do/be, should have done, must, ought to, have to, etc. We get caught as victims of the past, inaction in the present and fear of the future. We use disempowering, victim of circumstance, guilt, shame and anxiety inducing language in our internal and external narrative, ultimately doing ourselves a disservice. We add the weight of expectations, social expectations that may not be of our own choosing to our lives and in doing so get in our own way. But there is a different way of using language, of thinking, perceiving and behaving. A way of reframing, of letting go of expectations that don’t serve us and of recognising we have more freedom of choice than we previously thought. A more empowering way of framing thoughts and language which u back in the seat of control in our lives and more in the present moment. So are you “should-ing” on yourself? What could you do if you let go of some of those "shoulds”? Check out the podcast to hear more 😛

I’ve been avoiding making this episode. I don’t necessarily believe in disability, I believe in people and people have diverse abilities.
