I should exercise because I know it will keep my mood more stable
I should get that work assignment done to help keep my worry levels low
I should pay the bills so I don't wake up at night stressing about having to do it tomorrow
I should have lunch with my friends because being with people is a good distraction
I should shower and floss my teeth because that means I'm taking care of myself
I should eat the fruit and not the cake because it's good fuel for my body
I get it that all the things 'they' say to do to keep yourself in a better mood do work (for many), but sometimes I get so tired of keeping up with the "should do's." It sometimes feels like such a huge responsibility to take care of me. Do the "should do's" ever turn into the "want to do's?"
