Nasty words and what they do

I am thinking about the word 'should'. Does this word exist in a child's mind? Yes, of course the adults tell the child what it should do - but does it exist in the mind of the child? Like: I should clean my room, I should eat healthier, I shouldn't watch that much TV - you get it.... and honestly, I don't think it does. That's why kids do what they want to do and why they are mostly in a great mood.

The trouble I have with should is, that it robs my energy and it makes me stubborn. It makes me not want to do, what I should do. And I also realize that this word is like an automated script running in my head.

But wait a minute, I think I just figured out what to do: combine the word with something great...I think that'll work: Today I resolve that I should have fun, I should be relaxed and happy. And I should live this day like it's the best day ever. And you should do the same :)
