I am tired.
I am weak.
I am lazy.
I am frustrated.
I am unmotivated.
I am distractible.
I am obsessive about some things and careless about other things.
I am stressed.
I am selfish.
This makes me feel sad.
This makes me feel angry.
This makes me feel ambivalent.
This makes me feel like a failure as a wife, mother, human.
I think I need a good cry.

Enough of the cloudy falsehoods - focus on the truth:
I am a mother of two young children that require constant attention and training.
I am strong and capable – meeting my family’s needs as they arise.
I keep my home safe and pay attention to its warm, nurturing atmosphere.
I do the work necessary to feed and clothe myself and my family.
I tend to the most important things that need doing and occasionally manage to do others.
I work hard to stay balanced and recognize my failings as normal, requiring change over a period of time.
I rejoice and delight in my children and husband, recognizing they are God’s gifts to me.
I commit myself to standing up after falling, humbly asking forgiveness when I’ve done wrong.
I thank the Lord for my strength, my determination, my underlying healthy outlook on life.
I thank the Lord for the provision and loyalty of my husband.
I thank the Lord for the many blessings I’ve been given that others have not.
I remember to pay attention to the good that God does in and through me, thanking Him daily.
I laugh outloud with rejoicing at the sweetness of life!
