What Should You Do about Your . . . Shoulds? – Talk with Dr. Rick Hanson

The weight of constant "shoulds" can be exhausting—feeling like you "should" do more, "should" be better, or "should" get others to change. And these cycles often include a lot of negative emotions like self-criticism, regret, and frustration.

But there's a different way. Instead of pushing yourself with rigid expectations, you can cultivate a natural sense of motivation that is sustainable and freeing.

In this talk, Dr. Rick Hanson talks about how you can move beyond harsh self-judgment and external demands toward a more spacious, compassionate way of living.
