Being a mom can be a difficult and tiring experience, but also extremely rewarding. Raising a child is one of the most fulfilling things in life, and it’s a journey that’s well worth taking.
However, while there are loads of ups along the way, there can also be plenty of downs.
During the down moments, it’s important to always remember that what you’re doing is brilliant and that you – as a mom – have got this.
Repeating affirmations is a great way to remind yourself of this.
Affirmations are phrases that give you positive messages and encouragement on life, and they can help you to get back on track if you’re ever feeling down.
Repeating these to yourself should have you feeling confident and energized as a mom again, ready to continue raising your child in the best way.

How Do You Practice Affirmations?
There are a handful of different ways that you can practice the affirmations below. One of the most popular ways is by repeating the phrase over and over in your head (Also check out How To Get Out Of Your Head).
The repetition should eventually ingrain the message into your mind, and have you take it on board.
Alternatively, you can repeat the affirmation out loud. Saying the actual words can help you get a grip on them even more.
For extra effectiveness, repeat them while looking at yourself in the mirror, connecting the words to yourself via sight.
A third way to practice affirmations is by writing them down. When you write them down, they become physical and tangible.
Seeing them written down on real paper will help you embrace the messages and make them real themselves.
