As a professional working mother, you’re constantly navigating the demands of your career, home life, and personal health. Between deadlines, meetings, and family responsibilities, it’s easy to feel like you’re losing control—especially when you’re also dealing with pelvic discomfort, core weakness, or persistent exhaustion. But here’s the truth: you are the captain of your own ship.
Through affirmations, you can take charge of your well-being, reinforcing the strength, resilience, and balance you need to thrive. Your words shape your mindset, and your mindset shapes your actions—whether it’s making time for movement, nourishing your body, or prioritizing rest.
As a postpartum mom, particularly when you're dealing with challenges like leaky bladders, persistent pain, and weak core strength, it can feel like you're struggling to stay afloat. Whether you're navigating the ups and downs of motherhood with a toddler or keeping up with older kids, it can sometimes feel overwhelming. But here's a powerful truth: you are the captain of your own ship. Through affirmations, you can take charge of your healing journey and reclaim your health with love, care, and confidence.
Aye, Aye, Captain!
In your body, your conscious mind is the captain. Your subconscious follows the instructions you give it, which is why affirmations can be so effective in helping you heal. Whether it’s recovering from pelvic floor issues, managing pain, or rebuilding core strength, your thoughts and beliefs directly influence the actions you take.
By repeating positive affirmations that resonate with your postpartum experience, you can gently shift your mindset, allowing space for healing, strength, and empowerment. Little by little, you’ll find yourself making choices that align with your well-being—whether it’s prioritizing gentle movement, nourishing your body with food that heals, or choosing rest when you need it most.
Creating Your Postpartum Affirmation
Here’s an example of an affirmation that speaks to healing and reclaiming your strength after pregnancy and childbirth:
“I am strong, capable, and healing each day.
My body is resilient, and my core is becoming stronger and more stable every day.
I honor my body’s needs and listen to it with love.
I embrace my postpartum journey with patience, and I trust the process.”
Feel free to adjust it to reflect your own unique recovery process.
The Power of Consistency: NASA Did It, So Affirmations Must Work
Did you know that NASA conducted a study on how the brain adapts to new information? They had astronauts wear goggles that made everything appear upside down. After about 25 days, the brain adapted and flipped the images to make them appear right-side-up. This shows that consistency is key when reprogramming the brain.
You can apply this concept to your affirmations as well. To truly change your mindset and see lasting results in your health, you need to practice your affirmation every day for at least 25 consecutive days. It may take time, but each repetition will help shift your subconscious mind and encourage actions that align with your healing journey.
The Nuts and Bolts of Affirmations
To make the most of your affirmation practice, start by writing it down and reading it aloud to yourself for at least 60 seconds. The best times to do this are in the morning when you first wake up, before you go to bed, and anytime you can steal a few moments in the middle of your busy day. If you’re caring for a toddler or older kids, perhaps this could become part of your daily routine—say your affirmations while you’re making breakfast or during nap time.
Remember, it’s not just about saying the words. It’s about saying them with emotion and truly believing in their truth. Your subconscious mind connects deeply with your feelings, so allow yourself to truly feel the strength and healing that you’re calling into your life. Believe that your body is capable of healing, that you can regain your strength, and that you deserve to live pain-free and full of vitality.
As a mom navigating the physical and emotional challenges of postpartum recovery, affirmations are a simple yet powerful tool to help you reclaim your body and wellness. You are strong, resilient, and worthy of healing, and with consistency and love, you’ll start to see the positive changes you desire.
