I found this is also true when dealing with our children. Instead of telling them that they are bad, we should tell them what they did was wrong.<BR/><BR/>Have a great day!<BR/><BR/>DebDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03069975801025176656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5380415744735474779.post-45504258238646948682008-08-07T00:01:00.000-04:002008-08-07T00:01:00.000-04:00Thank you Melissa,The label I came into today with...Thank you Melissa,<BR/>The label I came into today with was "I am a bad mom." given to my by my 4year old son, when he was frustrated with me yesterday. Looking back now, i see how it happened, and why... however at the time, though i didn't realize it, i took it to heart... it almost made me cry right then and there... i was physically and emotionally exhausted... and my daughter refused to go to sleep till 11pm (a 2 year old) and, and... the list goes on.<BR/>I went to a friends house today, and slowly the things we talked about are sinking in. she gave me a good dose of Truth, and much compassion as i cried all over her. <BR/>I always am giving myself labels. I never realize it till way past the even usually... but you are right... I am depressed or anxious... are ok in the times when you are struggling with it in that instance... but what we mean is "I am feeling...." not "I am....." Does that make sense?<BR/>I have caught myself saying more and more, as I have come out of the depression especially, I struggle with depression, rather than I am depressed. It makes a big difference... a distinction I never used to make.<BR/>God bless,<BR/>HeatherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5380415744735474779.post-47418970186171684302008-08-06T20:14:00.000-04:002008-08-06T20:14:00.000-04:00Beautifully put.
