U is for Uplift

Today on the blog, we want to uplift you. The journey to becoming a parent, as well as the parenting journey can be hard. Every feeling, at any given stage of this process is completely valid. However, sometimes we can forget that, as many times we are so isolated in the time when we need validation the most.

This is why, today we invite you to sit back with us. No need to think, just read. Here are ten affirmations to help you get through your day. Take what you love, write it on a post-it and put it on a mirror to find some inner strength if it helps you!

1. I am strong and in control of myself and my reactions. I have the power and confidence to reach out when I don’t feel that way.
2. Every moment is a phase, which I will navigate through and conquer.
3. I am well informed, intelligent and knowledgeable about what is best for my family.
4. I eliminate fear from change, and instead see each weak moment as an opportunity to inspire myself.
