Think Could, Not Should

  • Thinking "could" instead of "should" opens up many possibilities and reduces feelings of obligation and guilt.
  • Emphasizing options encourages progress by focusing on what you can do rather than what you must do.
ADVICE

Generate Multiple Options

  • When facing a problem like sleep trouble, list all possible actions you could try instead of fixating on a single "should".
  • Choose appealing options you can realistically follow through with for better success.
ADVICE

Replace Should With Could

  • Replace "should" with actionable alternatives that fit your life, like starting a side gig or redirecting streaming costs to savings.
  • Focus on practical choices you could implement, not on guilt from unmet shoulds.
