I am the master of my emotions. I’ve read this phrase and spoke this phrase over and over.
What I discovered this week is how amazing it is that no matter how many times you tell yourself those exact words, there are people out there that know how to push all your buttons and all mastering is lost. I’ve heard it said that the hardest part of being a parent is trying to parent the “you” out of your children. In this case, I would have to say that it is true. No one knows me and is able to push and pull my emotions like my child.
Deep breaths.
Take a step back. Take a short sit.
I am the master of my emotions.
What can I say? It’s a journey.
