Do you control your feelings, or do your feelings control you? Lots of us let guilt, anger, or self-criticism be the boss of us, which makes a total mess of things.
You may say to yourself, “I just need to get over it.” or “I’ve got to stop thinking that way.” But the truth is this tactic rarely works, and in fact, it can make things worse.
I don’t know anyone who doesn’t struggle on some level with their relationship with food. I sure do, and that’s why I found this episode with Barb Raveling, life coach and author, so helpful!

Why are you down in the dumps, dear soul? Why are you crying the blues?
(Psalm 42:5 MSG)
Have you ever asked your soul questions like that? Why are you in despair? Why so down, so negative, so anxious?

Let’s be honest — emotions crest and feelings take a dive on any given day of the month! It isn’t always hormones that make our emotions get out of control!
Motherhood comes with lots of stuff — joy, laughter and stress! And, motherhood comes with one thing every mom gets and no mom wants… guilt!
One thing it does not come with is a rewind button! We can’t rewind and redo what we regret. But, that’s okay, sister.
We can do something to prevent some of the regret.
Okay, my husband has officially been told that his jokes are “Dad Jokes.”
Do you know what that means? Well, if you have a teenager, you probably do.
Dad jokes are well… how shall I put it? Dumb. Yep, they’re just flat out dumb. And, my husband has taken “dad jokes” to an all new, Olympic-sized level.
