Lesson 250: Should-Free Zone

Today we are to practise in our home a “should-free” zone. And if you like that, declare it as a “serious-free” zone also. Notice if the energy changes.

I actually didn’t spend much time in my home on Friday. I went to work, came home to feed my cats and went to a mate’s house to watch AFL and eat dinner. When I did get home, I thought to myself that I should probably catch up on my blogging but then I didn’t do it. I was too tired and just wanted to fall asleep to the TV. I ignored a task I should have done, just relaxed and went to bed. Even though this is like the most simplest example, I think sometimes the pressures we place on ourselves can be our downfall and causes us anxiety. I tell myself on occasion that the world won’t fall apart if I didn’t do this one task. Sure, I don’t want to completely procrastinate, but setting it aside for another time works too! Missing something one day is okay if you’re exhausted. It’s about remembering also what your mind and body needs and listening. Sometimes all you need to do is not much and go watch TV, go play that game or listen to some music. There is nothing wrong in implementing joy in your life as long as you’re responsible to pick up the task you put aside at another time.

So, remember to bring joy in your home. You don’t always have to bog yourself with all the duties that need to be done. Always take some time out for self.
