The Power of Affirmations

The Power of Affirmations
In the journey of motherhood, it's common to feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and even frustrated. A lot of times, we tend to ignore our emotional and mental health while we prioritize our children's well-being. However, taking care of ourselves should be a top priority too. One way to nurture our well-being is through affirmations. It may sound simple, but our words have power, and positive affirmations can help us shift our mindset and attract more positivity in our lives.

Affirmations are positive statements that we repeat to ourselves regularly. They can be as simple as, "I am enough," or "I am capable." Affirmations work by rewiring our brain. When we repeat positive beliefs, our mind begins to accept them as true, eventually leading to a shift in our behavior and mindset. For moms, affirmations can be a lifesaver. It can help us combat negative self-talk and deal with the challenges of motherhood.

Here are some examples of affirmations to use:

"I love my body, and my body loves me." As moms, our bodies go through a lot of changes, and it's easy to fall into the trap of self-criticism. Instead of focusing on our flaws, we can choose to appreciate our body and see it as a vessel that helped us bring life into this world. I've been using this one a bunch lately!

"I am doing the best I can." Motherhood is hard, and sometimes, we beat ourselves up for not being perfect. But the truth is, there's no such thing as a perfect mom. We are all just doing the best we can, and that's more than enough.

"I deserve to take care of myself." As moms, we tend to prioritize our children's needs over our own. But taking care of ourselves is crucial too. By believing that we deserve to prioritize our self-care, we allow ourselves to rest, recharge, and come back stronger for our loved ones.

"I trust myself to make the right decisions." Motherhood comes with a lot of decision-making, and it's easy to doubt ourselves. But by trusting ourselves, we can make choices that align with our values and intuition.

"I am grateful for this moment." It's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of motherhood that we forget to appreciate the little things. By being grateful for the present moment, we can cultivate a sense of mindfulness and positive energy.

Affirmations may seem too simple, but its power lies in its consistency. By repeating positive affirmations regularly, we can shift our mindset and attract more positivity in our lives. As moms, taking care of our mental and emotional health is crucial, and affirmations can help us do just that. So, the next time you're having a hard day, take a moment to repeat positive affirmations to yourself, and see how it can shift your perspective. Remember, you are doing great, mama.

My Story

 

Ever since I was a young child, I was always very moody.  Considered ultra sensitive, my anxiety was always through the roof.  As a young adult I got therapy and took prescription drugs which I thought would help.  I even had an as needed anxiety medication I had a panic attack.to keep on me just in case. I just wanted to feel like myself again.I tried different medication and therapists, hypnotherapy, whatever I could find.  When I found out I was pregnant with my son, I decided to stop all medications, even down to over the counter to protect my baby. I liked not taking a bunch of pills daily but I didn’t feel like I was getting any better.  Everyday I put on a face so everyone around me would believe everything was okay when I knew I clearly wasn’t. 


I always clung to a Higher Power for protection and guidance and my faith carried me through many years of uncertainty and very high stress. I was unhappy in my relationships, my job, and more. I felt like my whole life needed a makeover but I had no idea where to even start. One day this lady came into the store where I worked and she shared a new way of thinking.


Now I’m so much happier and feel a million times better overall. My faith in the Universe/Higher Power/God/Spirit grows more and more each day.I am working on my health and wellness and my life has changed drastically. I gained confidence in myself to leave bad relationships, left a job and found a better one (or two).  Most of all I see my dream life vision coming together slowly, yet surely. I’m so excited to help others do the same.I have an amazing support group of awesome women all working together to achieve our dreams. I see that the power of positivity and love is contagious and I’m happy I can share that with the world.  Of course I still have ups and downs but now I have tools to help myself and others that can relate.


Come join our group of amazing ladies all working together to build our dreams in a loving and high vibe atmosphere.
