Affirming Motherhood - New Moms Affirmations Pt1
It may hurt
There will be much discomfort
I will move slower than usual
I will heal
I am healing while it hurts
I will feel unsure
I will feel overwhelmed
I will feel the feels of what was I thinking, how am I going to do this
I am a good mom
Even when I feel frustrated
I am just going through all the feelings of being a new mom and this new life
I am starting new
Sometimes starting new or all over feels like the hardest time
But in a short time I will feel empowered
I will feel better
I will feel stronger
Each day that goes by
I will feel like I have it together
I will have it together
I am not done
I am not finished
I will ask for help when I need it
I will need help and that’s okay
I am not in this alone
I am not burdening anyone
If people aren’t offering it’s so hard to ask. If people aren’t checking in it’s so hard to reach out because you feel so isolated. Your body is still healing. You’re going through all the emotions, every inch of you is realigning to your new life, new normal, you might not be eating right or getting any sleep.
Not all of us have a support system. I’m so thankful for my circle of mommas who checked in and shared resources with me. That’s what community and sisterhood is all about and I felt it so much so when I needed it the most. The ones who dove into my inbox when u posted sos messages about how I was feeling like I was failing at breastfeeding. The momma who came to my house to assist with the latching of Baby Moon🌙 I’m forever grateful. The momma who gifted me lactation cookies simply because she saw a post of mine and noticed we lived near each other. The moms who dropped off food, my village who dropped off smoothies for me to make sure I was eating and fueling myself. My tribe who sent me / dropped off care packages.
I wrote these affirmations because I needed it in October while Baby Moon 🌙 was about 5weeks old. I hope someone receives this message and it gives them a sense of hope and affirms them. ✨💛✨
