Rachna's Note

November 2002

Dear Reader,

If you've been reading this newsletter for a while

you will have noticed a shift in format over the past

couple of months. I've been doing some experimenting :)

though I think we'll stick with this format for a while

now.

This month has been very busy for me, as my new book

has been published, and my business continues to grow

and flourish. I've been interviewed for several national

magazines & newspapers over this past month and invite

you to check these out -- I will send details, ongoing,

in future issues of this newsletter.

At the time of year where we give thanks for all the

blessings in our lives, I want to take a minute to thank

you for making "Live Your Best" a part of your life. We've

just passed the one year mark of publication, and it's exciting

to look ahead and think about where we'll be a year from now!

Take good care, have a wonderful Thanksgiving, and I'll see

you next month!

Warmly,

Rachna

"There are no shoulds for how you live your life."

Someone told me this a while ago- but I didn't believe her.

In fact, I resisted this idea with all my might. What did

she mean that there are no shoulds? I was supposed to be a

good person, to do the right things, to act the right way…

.....wasn't I?

It seemed particularly challenging for me, perhaps, because

I belong to a fairly traditional and conservative culture.

It seems, sometimes, that being Indian was always about what

you should do. (I've heard this from people in other Asian

cultures, too, so it might be more universal than I think.)

Anyway, what does it mean to live without shoulds? I think it

means that you realize that you are a powerful person with the

desire and capacity to create your life however you want. You

know that you are always changing and growing and that

sometimes, things that used to work for you, before,

somehow no longer fit.

When this happens, you go through some mental gymnastics-

"what's wrong with me?" but then, hopefully, you ultimately

decide that nothing's wrong with you- you've just changed.

By letting yourself change, you let yourself move away from

shoulds. And, therefore, into a life that is much richer,

more fulfilling, and more sustaining.

What is a "should" you could give up today? What would you

claim in doing so?
