Have to. Get to.
I have to go to the gym.
I get to experience my strength and stamina.
I have to go to the Holiday Party.
I get to spend time with people I love and don’t see often enough.
I have to participate in the Secret Santa.
I get to surprise someone with a funny and thoughtful gift.
I have to go to work.
I get paid to do something I’m good at and people appreciate.
Self talk and how we frame our experiences
effects how we feel, and our attitude towards daily experiences.
If there are too many have tos, rethink why you feel they are necessary.
Is it still true?
If it isn’t; permission granted to let those things go.
Try coming from an attitude of gratitude and creativity about how you spend your time.
Make conscious choices that reflect the life you want to be living.
