#HighlySensitivePeople: Do You Have Too Many “Should’s” In Your Life?

Post category:Self Awareness

Do you have too many “shoulds” in your life? Do you find yourself or others saying to you…You should do this, or You should do that?

Why should you have to do anything? Shouldn’t you be free to do what you want and not be bound by what you and others think you should do?

He found a dangerous life threatening irregular heartbeat that needed to be monitored in the hospital. I was in the hospital for 12 days.

Are you living up to your potential? By that I mean, are you content to give just enough effort to coast by in life? I’m not immune from this malady. I have to catch myself when I lack the effort to go for what I want. As a highly sensitive person, it’s important for me to have a productive purpose.
