Mum, Affirm yourself

You can attest to feeling overwhelmed time and again on this journey of motherhood. A lot of time, it appears as though you cannot catch a break. There seems to be no end to tasks, goals and the incessant calls for “Mummy”. And sometimes, you start to slip away into a place of sadness because of how unfulfilling days and nights appear. It feels like you are being torn in different directions.

It is even worse for new mums. Because for a life that is already filled with so many things to achieve and several uncertainties, is the added responsibility of caring for a new child. A journey that you have never taken before. An experience that is really unpredictable.

However instead of sadness, I choose to be positive. I choose to wake everyday and put my best foot forward, trusting God to make everything beautiful. With that, I encourage myself. I affirm myself by speaking good things to myself and proclaiming the goodness that I want to experience in the day, in my home and in my children.

I suppose that’s something all mothers should embrace. It is a proven method of bringing calm into the chaos that sometimes is motherhood. And whatever you put into the atmosphere is what you experience. I believe that. Even if you are not already feeling what you confess, you start to feel it as you affirm the words. It is another dimension of “fake it until you ARE it.”
