Do Nothing "Because you Should"-
The word 'should' confers a duality- it distinguishes what you want to do from what you think is the right thing to do- meaning that if you govern yourself with 'shoulds', what you're creating is a conflict within yourself. Instead of simply wanting to do the right thing (the elegant path), when you govern yourself with 'shoulds' you create and empower a separate part of you to tell you that you shouldn't do what you want- and this part of you operates by making you feel guilty and miserable.
The word 'should' is the weapon of your negative ego- that's the part of you whose job it is to belittle and control you... when the purpose of your life is to grow, be happy and free, and to express your higher purpose in life. We empower our negative ego in order to balance out our 'positive' one's faults- for example, if your ego gets a lot of validation out of spending lots of money on status symbols, the negative ego's job would be to make you feel guilty over spending more than you can afford.
The entire reason for empowering our 'negative ego' is because we resist changing the positive one- but this is a path of self-conflict and wasted energy. Instead of creating a separate entity to fight us and make us feel dumb and guilty, we can simply become the person who wants to (rather than 'thinks they should') do what is best for themselves.
The key here is in allowing reality, rather than your ego, to guide the way you adapt to your world. Mutate at will. This has nothing to do with principles- by all means, be true to your values- but don't mistake your values for your concept of 'self'- as soon as you do that, your ego is engaged and you're on the hook. For example, in this case (where you're driven to keep up with the joneses by your concept of self) it's really tempting to believe that without being ahead of the joneses, you would cease to be you- but that's just not true.
Ways to know you're getting good at this:
You procrastinate less
You seldom, if ever, let yourself down
The amount of drama in your life is vastly reduced
You never wrestle with your conscience
Have a Nice day. :)
