A thought is not an instruction. Recall this phrase when your mind tells you that you "must" do this or you "should" do that.

I find this concept very valuable. Sometimes we are on auto pilot. And a thought CAN feel more like an instruction - especially when it comes to changing our behaviors or how we perceive ourselves.
I've heard the saying "don't should all over yourself". It's not productive and can negatively influence one's self esteem. Being gentle and kind to yourself teaches us to do the same for others.
