20 Affirmations For Moms – And How To Use Them Correctly

In the past, I wrote an article where I shared a few daily affirmations for kids. But today, I thought I’d focus on some affirmations for moms! Because, as a mother, it’s important that you keep your mental health in mind as well. And affirmations can be a great way to do that.

However, just in case you don’t already know what affirmations are… let me give a quick explanation before we move onto some examples.

What are affirmations?

Positive affirmations are short statements that you can repeat to yourself to combat negative emotions that pop up throughout the day. They can also be used to build confidence, depending on which affirmations you choose.

What’s the difference between positive and negative affirmations?

Affirmations can also be negative, and the tricky part about negative affirmations is that you may not even be aware you’re saying them…

For instance, maybe you’ve had a long day and you just grabbed some takeout on the way home to feed your kids because you didn’t feel like cooking. You may start thinking things like:

• “I’m such a bad mom, I shouldn’t be feeding my kids unhealthy food.”
• “My kids are going to grow up and have health issues because of me.”
• “I’m so lazy, I should just go home and cook.”

And although you may not have consciously started this thought patterns, the result will be the same. You’ll start feeling bad about yourself, as a person and as a mother. So, instead of giving into the negative thoughts, you should focus on the positives. Such as:

• “My kids are going to be so excited for this treat.”
• “Since I don’t have to cook, I’ll have a little extra time to spend with my kids tonight.”
• “I’m creating a positive memory for my kids.”

How To Use Positive Affirmations In Your Daily Life

Now that you know some affirmations for moms that you can use, lets talk about how to actually incorporate them into your life.

One of the most popular methods of using positive affirmations is to repeat them to yourself internally during times of need. So if you’re feeling stressed about a certain thing, you could use affirmations to counteract the negative thoughts as we discussed earlier. This method is especially helpful if you’re in the midst of a situation and don’t have the time ruminate on affirmations.

Another great strategy to is to take some time every day to repeat some affirmations out loud and in front of the mirror. This is great because speaking the affirmations out loud will make them feel even more valid, and saying them to yourself in the mirror helps cement them even more.

And lastly, something that many people enjoy is writing affirmations down in a journal. Because similarly to speaking them out loud, this helps cement the affirmations in your heart and mind. So this can be a really effective daily practice. Plus it’s easily paired with other journaling exercises, such as writing down what you’re grateful for!
