The more "shoulds" you carry, the stricter you are with everyone 🎈

Should Stones

We have many "shoulds," like "It should be this way" and "I should finish what I start."

Never Enough

The more "shoulds" you have, the harder it is to accept yourself when you are not perfect.

And you become strict with people around you, too.

⚡ TRY IT
Turn "should" into "it would be nice"
"Should" stones hold the penguin down. Tap a stone to change the words.
🎈 So light! Kind to yourself, and kind to others, too.
Hard to Hear

For a perfectionist like me, this is hard to hear.

Nothing Gained

There is nothing you gain from "shoulds."
