Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites - Do You Shoulda Woulda Coulda Yourself?

Do you shoulda woulda coulda yourself?

That’s a habit many people have, and they think of the “shoulda woulda coulda” process as a way to improve themselves. Most of the time it isn’t – it’s a way to beat up on yourself and it guts your sense of self-worth.

Hindsight is always 20/20. It’s easy to look back on an event and say “I wish I would have” or “it would have been good if I could have” or “I really should have” whatever. The brain will help you ruminate, and yet when you make a habit of doing it, it can become an addiction quite easily.

The more you think about something, the easier it becomes to think about, until soon it’s all you want to think about, which is when it’s become an addictive thought process. This can be good if the thoughts produce good feelings, and very detrimental to your mental and physical wellbeing if bad feelings are produced.

Next time you find yourself in shoulda woulda coulda mode, stop and assess your feelings. Then adjust your thoughts accordingly.
