Today, I have concentrated on my flow of thoughts – “I have to cook”, “I have to change my son’s pants”, “I have to clean the floors” ... And I realize, that it irritates me!
Actually, these duties are rather easy, but the phrase “I have to” puts pressure on me. I start losing the freedom of choice. I can hardly cope with small household tasks. My day and all my life is overwhelmed with “I have to”.
Whom do I have to? Whom have I signed the contract with? Why do I have to comply with someone’s will?
However, after eliminating the phrase "I have to" from my mind, I have realized that I really care for all these things. I care for having our dinner, I care for my son wearing dry pants, and I really love clean floors!
It will be correct to say: "I want to cook", "I want to change my son’s pants", "I want to wash the floors".
Yes, I do! I can feel freedom now. I feel strength to accomplish all my tasks scheduled for today. I do it on my own will!
