Good morning, Moms!
How are you?
If you’re new here, thank you so much for joining me. I’m a therapist-in-training, and mom of two kiddos. “The Mom Diaries” is a place where I’m doing exploratory research to better understand what women’s experience of friendship in motherhood is like, and how friendship (or lack of) affects our mental health.
I hope you’ll join me in speaking aloud each affirmation in the podcast recording, above. You can listen while driving, working, or multi-tasking. It can also be meaningful to carve out a few meditative, quiet moments to do affirmations.
Happy Monday. I’m so glad you’re here. -Kay
“Momffirmations” for Monday, February 12th, 2024.
It is okay to ease into this week.
I can go slowly even when there is a lot to do.
When I feel stressed, I can always come back to my breath.
My breath is always here for me, like a gentle, strong friend.
Compromise is a beautiful thing.
It is wonderful to celebrate myself
It is wonderful to celebrate others
I believe we are all connected
Here are three things I'm grateful for today:
Thanks, Mamas. I hope you all have a great day, and please let me know how these felt for you? Warmly, Kay
