I created these affirmations for moms because it was hard to find time to work on myself, even though it was needed
I have dreams and goals, and a lot of them are related to motherhood
Our brains resist things that don’t align without identity
So I have to change that identity to change my life
That’s where affirmations come in
They may seem like simple statements, but they can help you step into the identity of your choice…
If you keep working with them
One of the parts of motherhood I struggled with is feeling beautiful with my new stomach
It was a BIG struggle
I still struggle, but it is getting better
The more I change my belief on what beauty is with my affirmations, the more beautiful I feel
There are so many thoughts and beliefs that affect us as mothers
And I’ve experienced many of them
So I wanted to share these affirmations for moms with you so they can change your life like that changed mine
What Are Affirmations?
Affirmations are statements that have the power to slowly change the way you see yourself and your life
Affirmations can be long or short statements that target your subconscious mind
Your subconscious mind is in charge of determining what we can do in our life
It is our rule book
Our conscious mind is what we can control, but we cannot overrule our subconscious mind
Which we cannot control or feel
The good news is that we can trick it into rewriting our life rule book to create the life and identity that we want
It takes time and patience, but affirmations can impact your life and your mind in amazing ways
I am going to give some examples further down on affirmations that you can use to become the mom and woman you want to be, but you can move away from them
Affirmations are statements that you want to be true but don’t think that they are yet
If you struggle with beeling beautiful, statements like “I am beautiful” or “I am radiant” could help you work towards creating that belief
But the good news is that your subconscious is pretty easy to trick
If you feel weird or uncomfortable saying “lies”, remember that your conscious mind is thinking that
And it has no power compared to the subconscious mind that is believing every word you say
How do affirmations work?
Affirmations help you change the beliefs that create who you are
Our lives are made of habits and beliefs
Great thing about both… They are changeable!
You don’t have to live with core beliefs that don’t help you reach your goals
The subconscious mind is what controls your habits and beliefs
It is super powerful!
But does not kow the difference between the truth or a lie that you say
The more you say something, the more your subconscious mind will integrate it into your identity
You don’t even have to say anything!
You can think a statement over and over have similar results
Affirmations are the statements you CHOOSE to be added to your subconscious mind
And then added to your beliefs about your life
Warning though…
If you have a belief that contradicts the affirmation…
I found that it is a struggle to do them
You may feel resistance
And learning the affirmation will take longer for your subconscious mind
That is because it has to unlearn one thing before learning the new statement
Just keep going
My system is:
- Take a few deep breaths
- Think of 3 things you are grateful for
- Repeat chosen affirmations at least 3 times
- Take a few more deep breaths
This should take less than 5 minutes a day
Keep on going with the same affirmations until you don’t feel any resistance telling your reflection those statements
Why Should Mothers Do Affirmations?
Moms are busy
There is always a million and one things to do
Since our brains are always learning and adjusting, our minds tends to get more unhealthy
Between high expectations and exhaustion, moms often struggle a lot
Since our brains are going to learn no matter what, we might as well learn what we want to learn
5 minutes a day can help you become the woman and the mother that you want to be
I have some suggested affirmations for moms,
But feel free to just use them as inspiration and create your own!
Statements that show a truth you want and begin with ‘I am’ are very powerful
Don’t forget to use the same affirmations everyday for a long time
At absolute minimum, they should be repeated for 21 days in a row
But I repeat them until I don’t feel any internal resistance when I say them with confidence
