The "Should Factor": How Arguing with Reality Keeps You Stuck

Have you ever found yourself frustrated because something should be different than it is? Whether it’s a relationship, a job, or even your computer freezing at the worst moment, so much of our frustration comes from resisting reality. In this episode, I break down the “Should Factor”—the hidden energy drain that keeps us stuck in cycles of frustration and resentment. You’ll learn how to stop arguing with reality (without pretending to like it), reclaim your energy, and make decisions that truly support you moving forward.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

Frustration often comes from resisting reality, not the situation itself.
Acceptance doesn’t mean agreement—it means choosing where to put your energy.
Shifting from arguing to self-support allows you to move forward with clarity.
You get to decide how to respond to what is, rather than getting stuck in what should be.

Until next time, trust yourself- because you can!
