I want to thank Stacy and Green-Style Mom for reminding me that word choice does matter. I can choose to say 'I need to do the dishes' and believe that I'm trapped; or I can say 'I want to finish the dishes before I go to bed because the dishes are easier to clean and I like to look at a clean kitchen in the morning.' Or 'I'm lucky that my family is able to choose and eat delicious organic healthy food and I enjoy cooking.'
Even just being aware of how many times I say 'should' and 'need' can change my attitude just that little bit I need to remain centered. I don't like feeling like a victim; why let my own words lead me there?

Thanks for the reminder from me as well! I slip into "should.. just because" way too often without thinking things through.
