I have realized that I must step up my inner game to have peace within, which will then give me peace without in the amazing chaos that is parenthood. Allowing me to be present for my child, be the parent that he needs me to be loving him fully, and enjoy every moment that comes with being a mom to an amazing little boy.
That is where affirmations come in.
Why Affirmations
Affirmations are a great and easy way to change your beliefs and your mindset about your circumstances. We all have thoughts swirling around in our mind about the past, the future, the present, and so much more that we can’t predict. The thoughts might tell us that we are not enough or an array of other things that aren’t true.
Affirmations allow us to speak against the thoughts (or negative affirmations) that seem so set on telling us things that are not for our good. With affirmations, you can change the narrative that your mind is telling you so that you can begin to believe what is good and true.
The reality is that you are good enough, you are loving, you are patient, and all is well with you, your baby, and your family.
That is the truth and if you commit to speaking these over your life and your child’s life, you will begin to know in your heart and transform the way you feel and move in parenthood.
How Can I Make Affirmations Work for Me
Changing your thoughts is just like changing any other habit that you have formed over an extended period of time. It takes at least 21 days to change any habit, and this is because your brain is building the connections and destroying the old ones.
You have probably been thinking certain negative thoughts for quite a while, which has turned into a mental habit. The good news is, however, that you don’t need to invest that much time to change the way you think. A month or two of speaking affirmations can drastically improve your thoughts and your circumstances and the way you view parenting.
Take a look at some of the affirmations below and choose the ones that you will focus on in your life for at least 21 days, and preferably 2 months. Speak them with meaning for at least 5 minutes a day out loud. I also like to look in the mirror at myself when speaking my affirmations.
I know that these will help you if you commit. Parenthood is so rewarding and amazing if you allow it to be. It’s time for us to get out of our head and into our hearts and life our best life with our babies!
