Listen to this Whinypaluza Wednesday Live vlog episode with The Greene Family! As an extension of the weekly blog, join Rebecca and her family on the live vlog, brought to you here in case you missed it last week!
This week: You Are Not A Failure (I Promise You)
A moment of reflection on the recent school shooting in Uvalde, Texas. We at Whinypaluza want to express our deepest sympathies to the families and community of Uvalde and Robb Elementary. We also want to express our wholehearted gratitude to educators all over the country who protect our kids every day. Thank you.
This episode:
Feeling overwhelmed and like a failure is a very common theme amongst parents.
Remember to cut yourself a break! We all forget things, do not beat yourself up.
The list of things we use to justify our feeling of failure is unrealistically long. STOP.
How do we shift our thinking from being hung up on what we didn’t accomplish, to what we have accomplished?
We can all take wisdom from the quote, “Comparison is the thief of joy.” Do not compare yourself to others. You will always feel you fall short.
Start recognizing your inner voice and find a way to engage and rewind. Reset how you talk to yourself. Be proactive, not reactive.
Bring yourself from emotion to logic.
Cognitive distortion- it is easier to think bad things about ourselves. We have to actively work on saying and thinking positive things about ourselves.
How do we set ourselves up for success and feeling good about ourselves?
Write it down! Getting thoughts and lists out of your head and paper is very therapeutic.
