That is definitely a great way to shift perspective. But then the "should" is no longer a "should"…it is a "want to" because it is one of the choices you're making on the way to the "really big want" (eg: the cruise for instance).

Moving from the feelings of "should" or "Need to" into more of a "want" not only frees up energy and opens up possibilities but makes it easier for us to take action (and busts us out of our victim mode or excuses).

Seriously, nice article. I wonder, however, if the "I should, but I don't want to" and the "I want to" situations are really so distinct. I think sometimes the key is to find how to transform the former into the latter by shifting one's focus. E.g., instead of saying "I should finish up that project for my client, but I don't want to," focus on "I really want to book that Olivia cruise this year, and to do that, I need the income from this project."
