What Are Affirmations?

Affirmations are powerful statements that can help shape our mindsets, boost our confidence, and remind us of our strength and worth.

In this post, I will be sharing what positive affirmations for mothers are, how to use them, and specific affirmations for health, emotional well-being, anxiety, and parenting challenges that we all face as mothers.

What Are Positive Affirmations For Mothers?

Positive affirmations are short, uplifting statements designed to challenge your negative thoughts and replace them with encouraging beliefs that are already within you.

They can help us as moms feel empowered, calm, and more confident in our parenting journey.

By repeating affirmations daily, you can create a habit of self-love and self-care, fostering a healthier and happier mindset.

As moms, we can easily experience stress, overwhelm, or self-doubt.

I found that affirmations act as gentle reminders. Reminding me that I’m enough. And that I’m doing a good job and deserve kindness and that prioritizing self-care is important to both me and my kids.

How to Use Positive Affirmations?

Incorporating positive affirmations into your daily routine doesn’t have to be complicated.

Here are some simple ways, I’ve effectively used them and so can you:

Morning Routine – Start your day by repeating affirmations while looking in the mirror. I absolutely love Mel Robbin’s high-five practice. It’s basically high-fiving yourself every morning in the mirror.

Journaling – Write down your affirmations each day as part of your self-care practice.

Phone Reminders – Set notifications with positive affirmations throughout your day. You can use your phone reminder for this or search on Google Play for affirmation reminder apps.

Meditation or Deep Breathing – Say your affirmations during moments of mindfulness to reinforce a calm mindset.

Before Bed – Reflect on your affirmations before sleeping to end your day on a positive note.

Now, let’s explore specific affirmations for different aspects of motherhood.

Positive Affirmations For Health

The first few years of becoming a new mom, instead of prioritizing my health, I let it go.

Gaining weight, not exercising, eating garbage, and the list goes on.

Until one morning I looked at myself in the mirror and was saddened by the woman I saw. The dark circles under my eyes, the muffin tops, scattered hair …

Getting back on track with my health took some time, mostly because it was harder than I thought it would be.

I felt like I was failing at it whenever I looked on social media and saw how easily others were losing weight. How put together they were, etc.

If you’ve felt the same. Just know you’re not alone!

And, taking care of yourself physically is just as important as taking care of your children.

Here are affirmations to support your health and well-being:

• I nourish my body with love, rest, and care.
• My health is a priority, and I deserve to feel strong and energized.
• I listen to my body and give it the care it needs.
• Rest is not a luxury; it is essential for my well-being.
• I am grateful for my body and all it does for me and my family.

Positive Affirmations To Make You Feel Better

Motherhood comes with tough days. No two days are the same for sure.

On those tough days, here are some positive affirmations to lift your spirits:

• I am doing my best, and that is enough.
• It’s okay to take breaks and care for myself.
• I am a wonderful mother, even on difficult days.
• My love and presence are more than enough for my children.

Positive Affirmations for Anxiety

Anxiety is common in motherhood. Whether it’s worrying about your child’s well-being or feeling overwhelmed by your endless responsibilities.

These affirmations can help ease anxious thoughts:

• I release the need to control everything and embrace the present moment.
• I am calm, capable, and in control of my emotions.
• It’s okay to ask for help when I need it. (Trust me, I know this is a hard one. And one I’m still working on.)
• I choose peace over worry. And love over fear.
• I trust myself to handle whatever comes my way.

Positive Affirmations for Coping with Kids

Children can be unpredictable, and parenting challenges can be overwhelming.

These affirmations can help you stay patient and present:

• I respond to my children with love, patience, and understanding.
• I am the perfect mother for my children.
• It’s okay if everything doesn’t go as planned; I adapt with grace.
• I embrace the chaos and beauty of motherhood.
• I am teaching my children through love, not perfection.

On a side note, I love Dr. Becky’s YouTube shorts and her book Good Inside. I truly wished she had written this book earlier when I was a new mom. I highly recommend you grab her book and watch her videos. Life changing!
