RE: DECISIONS are controlled by emotions & EMOTIONS are controlled by decisions
How do you read my mind like that? Seriously?
This morning was another triple meltdown: first the twins, then me. This weekend there was A LOT of whining, tantruming, and screaming. This stuff makes me hate being a mom, and the downward spiral of anxiety/depression takes hold. So, after the triple meltdown today, I sat them down and we had a conversation. I made a decision that things needed to change. I need to change, and they also need to change their behaviour.
Yes, I should be able to be happy regardless of the tantrums, but they wear on me, and eventually I snap. My point is, I made a decision to change. Reading this reinforces the need to return to gratitude again and again, which is always my saving grace.
Well written, my friend. Resteemed.
