Being a mom is one of the hardest, scariest, most fulfilling jobs I’ve ever had. Most of the time, I look at the lives I’ve created in amazement. Other times, I consider selling them on Facebook. It’s so easy to forget yourself when taking care of tiny humans. They get everything you have mentally, physically, and emotionally and self care goes out of the window. Here are 25 positive affirmations for the mom currently fighting to keep it together.
1. I am an awesome mom.
2. My kids are happy because of me.
3. I am beautiful.
4. They get that from their dad.
5. Leggings are indeed pants.

Whenever you’re not feeling the best, say a few of these out loud. I’m a firm believer in speaking things into existence. If you speak positivity over yourself, positive things will happen. Remember, you’re a badass mom and you’re more than enough.
