How do we get from should to shh?

How do we get from should to shh?
Should -
a damning statement
imposing some expectation
or looked-for outcome
onto a situation.
Wanting to get rid of
some aspect that is present.
Not accepting what is.
“I should do better”
“I should be able to cope with this”
“That shouldn’t be here”
“This shouldn’t be happening”.
Says who?
Always wanting something else
something different.
The remedy?
Shh!
Shush the chattering mind
the mind presenting objections
and resistance.
Shh!
How do we get from should to shh?
