A simple way you can start your day feeling more like yourself.

Mama, if you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, scattered, or stuck in negative thoughts about yourself, this week’s challenge is for you. Last week, we talked about simplifying your life by pairing, planning, or simplifying something you already do. This week, Danielle shares the one thing she added to her mornings that made a powerful difference in her mindset: affirmations. She’s also challenging you to start thinking about the words you want to speak over your life, even if affirmations feel foreign, silly, or “woo-woo” right now.

This week, get ready to bring affirmations into your morning routine by taking these simple steps:

• Start thinking about your affirmations. Begin noticing what you want in your life, who you want to be, and how you want to show up as a mom and a woman.
• Write them down. Even a few rough ideas are enough to start. You can refine and make them your own as you go.
• Grab some Post-it notes. Add them to your cart or Target list so you’re ready for Thursday’s episode.
• Pair it with brushing your teeth. Put your affirmations on your bathroom mirror and read them while you brush. It takes two minutes, and it’s something you’re already doing every morning.
• Prepare your head and your heart. If this is new for you, give yourself permission to be open to it, even if it feels uncomfortable at first.
• Refresh what you already have. If you already use affirmations, now is a great time to update them, because your core values, strengths, and goals change as you grow.

Starting your day in the Word of God fuels your spirit, and starting your day with affirmations fuels your mindset. As Brian Tracy says, your life is a reflection of your thoughts, and if you change your thinking, you can change your life. When you change your thoughts first thing in the morning, you set the tone for how you show up for yourself and your family all day long. Mom guilt, self-doubt, and the feeling of losing yourself in the doing of motherhood can be quieted by intentionally choosing the thoughts you let lead.

Affirmations aren’t just for “woo-woo” people. They’re for every mama who wants to stop surviving her days and start living them, without guilt. You only need two minutes, a few Post-its, and a willingness to try. Come back on Thursday, when Danielle shares the impact this practice has had on her and gives you plenty of affirmation ideas to borrow, tweak, and make your own.
