November 1, 2010 is the Third Annual Give Up Your "Shoulds" Day. What is Give Up Your "Shoulds" Day? I happened to come across this holiday on a holiday calendar, Brownielocks and the Three Bears, which had a link to The Absolutely Should-less Blog, a blog created by Damon L. Jacobs, a licensed Marriage Family Therapist.
On November 1st, Damon L. Jacobs is inviting people to give up a certain "SHOULD" that leads to stress, guilt, misery, or any sort of sadness. Some of the examples of "SHOULD" he says people gave up last year included:
- I SHOULD clean the house
- I SHOULD go to the gym
- I SHOULD be making more money
- I SHOULD lose weight
- I SHOULD be getting more work done.
The examples above are things we should be doing, but the goal of this holiday is not to give up doing these things, but giving up the thoughts and beliefs you carry as you move through your life.
Gifts For One Gifts For All Too encourages you to visit Damon Jacobs' blog The Absolutely Should-less Blog, for more infomation about this holiday and the events, contest, giveaways Damon will be offering on this holiday.
Also tune in to his special one hour broadcast on BlogTalk Radio with his guest actress Jacklyn Zeman (Bobbie from General Hospital) at 2 PM EST (11 AM PST) on November 1, 2010. Damon invites people to call in and discuss the "SHOULDS" they are willing to try to give up for one day, and any obstacles to having a "should-less" day. Following that event Damon will be holding a Twitter conference answering questions about "shoulds", or anything else he is asked.
To celebrate Give Up Your Shoulds Day, Gifts For One Gifts For All Too will be giving away $10 OFF Coupon to use at Gifts For One Gifts For All to anyone that shares the "Shoulds" they're giving up. Just leave a comment or tweet us on twitter.
