What do you think you should you be doing right now instead of reading this? I bet your brains already coming up with any number of options that your guilt system can latch onto in an instant.
Having a should collection is a widespread and generally accepted form of mental clutter. But the good news is that if you choose not to accept the mental should clutter and instead set about decluttering it, you can liberate your own mind, freeing yourself up to lead a more fulfilling and successful life than the shoulds would ever allow you.

Your particular should pattern may involve telling yourself that there are belongings you should have, activities you should be engaged in or characteristics you should display. Quite possibly all of them. But where do the shoulds come from?
Although theyre in your head, shoulds are actually externally generated. The media is keen to dictate how and who you should be, whats acceptable and whats not. Your parents will probably have exerted their influence through shoulds in the past too - maybe they still do. Then theres the whole list of teachers, preachers, acquaintances, ex-partners, current partners, relatives, colleagues, article-writers... And thats without even considering how professional advertisers set out to program your brain.

If you take all the shoulds on board plus you feel you should act on them, pretty quickly youll find theres no space left for you. If you live your life according to your shoulds, it soon becomes meaningless and distinctly lacking in fun. You lose your sense of self, and your chances of success on your own terms gradually erode away.
The rather obvious truth about the basic essence of a should is that its something you dont want. But its one of those truths that youre not supposed to notice or mention. Like the emperors new clothes.
One of the secrets to unloading your mental clutter is to stay on the alert for your shoulds. When you catch one (youll probably be amazed how often the word comes out of your mouth once you start listening for it and noticing it), stop it in its tracks and ask yourself: Im telling myself that this is what I should do, but what do I actually want to do?

Once youve identified the want as well as the should, you have a choice and you can change the way you think and talk about it. Instead of saying: I should do this, you can experiment with:
- I feel I should do this, but I dont want to, so Im choosing to do something else instead.
- This isnt something I particularly want to do, but I choose to do it anyway because...
- This isnt something I particularly want to do, so I choose to feel good about not doing it.
Its important not to let yourself be a victim or to blame your shoulds for controlling you. Although its not quite as straightforward as always saying no to the shoulds - we all have to do things we dont want to do occasionally - the mental clarity you gain by taking responsibility and making a choice in these situations will help you to reduce your mental clutter and reclaim your life.
