"When I start behaving like the old Kathleen, I try and change my attitude, going almost straight to DBing."
It's great reinforcement. Sometimes I chuckle to myself internally as I keep 'stop/starting' my thoughts.
Yadda yadda, controlling, wanting my way... OOOPS... turn it around, make it about them.. DB DB DB.
Taking care of myself first... oh what a tricky wicket it is. I think I may be doing it.. until I look at my actions. I'll work on more me, less of supreme mom. The kids will mention how overprotective I am.. and I look with a blank stare and eloquent, "huh?"
