Wasted Words. Right use of Tongue in Caregiving
Contact Helping.Mom (we don’t spam)
Nothing is more untrue than, "Sticks & Stones may break bones, BUT WORDS CAN NEVER HURT US." Every pain I have suffered in life, and most I have inflicted on others, has been the result of words--hateful words, mean words, destructive words. Words that tear down, vs build.
Today on helping.mom we talk about a different sub-set of words--what I call "Wasted Words." Words that may be true, but which nonetheless add no value to our caregiving--which words prove more cost than benefit. And, there are many in caregiving. Complaining, Justifying, Giving too much detail, Arguing on any topic, Comparing yourself to anyone else, Defending yourself. The list is long.
But there are right uses of the tongue, to help us "Speak Life" (Toby Mac) into our loved one. Today we discuss both wasted & useful words on our podcast. Thanks for joining us. Please share your own ideas to Info@Helping.Mom
