How can I fit affirmations into my busy mom life?

• 1. Sticky Notes Everywhere

  Try some different colors for added fun!

  Write your favorite affirmations on sticky notes and place them where you can’t miss them—on the bathroom mirror, fridge, or even your kid’s lunchbox.

  These little reminders don’t just brighten your day—they show your kids the power of positive self-talk, too.

  Example:“I’m doing my best, and that’s more than enough.”

• 2. Use Digital Reminders

  Set up daily reminders on your phone with affirmations as the label. For example:

  • 8:00 AM:“I am capable and calm as I start this day.”
  • 3:00 PM:“I am patient and loving, even in chaos.”
    These quick notifications act like mini resets during busy moments.

• 3. Turn Affirmations Into a Morning Ritual

  We all have habits, adjust one to work for you

  Pair affirmations with something you already do every morning, like making coffee or brushing your teeth. For example, as you sip your coffee, say:

  “Today is a fresh start, and I’m ready to handle it with love and grace.”

  This simple ritual helps set a positive tone before the day’s challenges begin.

• 4. Record Your Voice

  Hearing affirmations in your own voice can be incredibly powerful. Record a few on your phone and listen to them while driving, folding laundry, or waiting at appointments.

  For example:

  • “I am strong and capable of facing today’s challenges.”
  • “I am the steady anchor my family needs.”

• 5. Try an Affirmation Jar

  Works great as a gratitude jar too!

  Write down affirmations on small slips of paper and place them in a jar. Each morning (or whenever you need a pick-me-up), pull one out and let it guide your mindset for the day.

  This is a fun activity to do with your kids, too—helping them create their own affirmations builds their confidence and emotional resilience.
