Dear “Shoulding,”
I understand that you first came into being when I was an infant, knowing that my job was to make my parents happy and to keep their marriage together. You knew then it was “too big a job,” but you took it on – and in many ways you tried anyway.
I see how exhausted you are, and, like the Energizer Bunny, you keep on keeping on, even though it causes you to go in circles and feel totally overwhelmed.
It even keeps you from completing new projects because you feel it will add too much responsibility to your already full plates.
I want to help you stop spinning those plates, Sweetheart. Let me help you put them all down and only pick up the ones that are fun for you. The world can spin on it’s own, and you can finally relax.
I’ll be aware when you are triggered into action and help “unspin” you out of my body and give you space to relax.
I’m here for you, Dear One. Here to help you give up the job you have had for too long. The only one you have to make happy is yourself.
I’ll help you – every step of the way.
With love and constant support,
Your Inner Wise Self.
