Hey mama. There is no doubt that motherhood, and life in general, is a tough journey. It gets significantly harder when there are thoughts of self-doubt, lack of motivation, lack of confidence in our relationships, and everyday curveballs that are thrown our way. This brings about the need for positive affirmations.
Positive affirmations have the power to completely transform your life and make you even happier than you were before. What are these essential tools you may ask? They are phrases that you tell yourself over and over to help build your self-confidence, change negative thinking patterns, and accomplish goals.
One of the main reasons affirmations work is they can be used as a self-fulfilling prophecy. You may be wondering what mambo-jumbo I’m sprouting, but hear me out. The act of saying something until you eventually start to believe it can help you gain confidence, making you more productive. If you deliver positive affirmations daily when everything feels out of control, sooner or later, things will begin to fall into place, not because you wished it into being but because you are constantly working towards these goals.
There is no specific time to start working on yourself. You also don’t have to wait until the perfect opportunity presents itself. The time for changing your mindset in order to create a better life for yourself is now. Here are some simple but effective positive affirmation quotes to get you started.
