What Are Positive Affirmations?

Positive affirmations are a powerful tool you can use to foster a more positive mindset and the desired outcomes you’d like. 

In a nutshell, affirmations are brief positive statements, repeated frequently, which are designed to encourage happy feelings, as well as positive thoughts and attitudes from within. If used consistently, these positive phrases can reprogram the subconscious mind, thus improving your mental outlook and fostering positive changes in your life.

The use of daily affirmations can help you through a hard time such as the postpartum period, as well as the challenges of motherhood you may face down the road.

Why Are Positive Affirmations Important for Moms?

Reciting positive affirmations can lead to more productive thoughts that improve your mindset and can ultimately change the way you approach daily challenges, which are MANY when you’re a mom!

The early days as a new mom come with round-the-clock feedings, constant diaper changes, and let’s not forget about the loads and loads of laundry and dishes to manage.  You hardly can find the time for a shower, let alone a proper meal.  

It’s also an emotional rollercoaster, as your body has just been through the trauma of childbirth and you’re now experiencing all kinds of physical and hormonal changes in the aftermath.  But above all, we cannot fail to mention that there is suddenly this tiny little human who depends on you for everything.

Even once you adjust to being a mom, it can sometimes be hard to find joy in motherhood no matter how much you love your children.  The reality is that despite how rewarding motherhood can be, it’s also hard work!

I find that I often experience shifting feelings of joy, overwhelm, excitement, amazement, uncertainty, frustration, love, anxiety, and utter exhaustion all in a single day! Motherhood can certainly be an emotional rollercoaster and there is no such thing as a dull moment.

Positive affirmations for moms are a great way to help combat negative feelings and approach each season of motherhood with more ease, grace, and self-compassion.

How To Use Positive Affirmations for Moms

To realize the benefits of positive affirmations for moms, it’s important to come up with affirmations that truly resonate with you.

You can practice affirmations differently, depending on your personality and comfort level, but will see the best results when your affirmation statements honestly speak to your reality, the difficulties you may be dealing with, and encourage you to rely on your innate qualities and abilities to gracefully handle challenging situations.  

Below are some suggestions for how to use daily affirmations for moms:

• Write them down in a journal each day
• Say them out loud to yourself as you get dressed, shower, rock your baby to sleep
• Repeat them during a meditation
• Pair them with a vision board that you prominently display in your home
• Write them on sticky notes and put them on your bathroom mirror
• Save them as a reminder in your phone and set a timer to go off each morning
• Set them as your screensaver/wallpaper on your computer or phone
• Use affirmation cards and leave them on your nightstand so you will see them first thing in the morning and at the end of the day
• Record yourself reciting your affirmations and listen to them at the start of each new day
