Becoming a mum has been the best thing ever for me but I would be lying if I said there were no struggles or adjustments. 

Affirmations have been a great tool for me to help manage my own stress and provide some comfort when I’m not feeling like things are going the way I wanted them to. 

Affirmations can be beneficial for a variety of reasons: 

Increases self-esteem: Affirmations boost your self-esteem by promoting positive self-talk and encouraging people to focus on their strengths and abilities. 

Reduces stress and anxiety: Affirmations can reduce stress by promoting relaxation and calmness. Repeating positive thoughts like affirmations helps you to create new pathways in your brain and helps you change your internal dialogue.

Improves focus and motivation: In today's fast-paced world, it can be challenging to stay focused and motivated. Affirmations can help to improve focus and motivation because you are setting clear intentions around how you want to feel.

Encourages positive thinking: Positive thinking is essential for maintaining a healthy and balanced mindset. Affirmations can help to encourage positive thinking by promoting positive self-talk and reinforcing positive beliefs and values. By using affirmations to focus on the positive aspects of life, you can develop a more optimistic and grateful outlook.

Some of my favourite mum affirmations are:

• I embrace this next version of myself. I give myself grace as I evolve. 
• I trust my natural instincts as a mother. I handle it with ease and love. 
• Love is more important than perfection. 
• I deserve self love. By filling up my own cup, I am looking after those around me. 
• I am brave. I am strong. I am loved. I am grateful. I am enough.

Love always,
