New Mom Affirmations

New Mom Affirmations

It’s easy to get lost in the sameness of new parenthood, and to get yourself down about how you’re coping compared to other parents.

What you say to yourself during these times matters greatly! When you’re the only one you have to talk to, sometimes it helps to know what to say.

• Watching how you speak to yourself is very important, especially during the early postpartum window.

• Counting your hardships as “failures,” comparing yourself to others, and allowing yourself to sink into loneliness are just a few ways that we can really struggle as new parents.

• In this post, we’ll go over the sorts of things you can say to yourself to help beat the baby blues, and to remind yourself that you are enough.

A list of new mom affirmations for when you’re feeling low

Below are some mantras you can repeat to yourself to help remind you of the strong person you are.*

*(Saying these affirmations aloud to yourself with your eyes closed in a quiet room while taking deep breaths is the best way to bring mindfulness to what you are trying to say)
