Speak It Into Existence: Words to Empower You and Your Family

Say It Out Loud With Me: Affirmations For Parents Matter

I’ll never forget the first time I truly looked into my own eyes. I mean really and deeply looked into my reflection, into my soul. And what I realized in that moment was that I had no idea how to genuinely love myself.

This was during a time in my life when I was looking for happiness outside of who I was—through accomplishments, awards, and approval from others—instead of from the inside and from the confidence in the person I was. When I realized this vulnerable truth, I knew I couldn’t be the only one. And I knew there had to be something I could do about it.

And that’s when I started looking at myself every day, saying empowering words and phrases. Even though, at first, it felt uncomfortable and strange, I kept showing up for myself. And it’s my daily practice of affirmations, that I still have, that changed how I showed up in the world for myself and for my family.

You see, affirmations are our way to speak into existence what we want to create in our lives. It’s about shaping our reality with the words we speak and manifesting positive outcomes. So, while they might seem like just words, when you say affirmations with conviction and consistency, you set the stage for a life transformed with happiness and abundance.

Your words have power. Tremendous power.

When you take the time in your day to speak empowering words to yourself, saying things like, "I am strong," or "I am capable," you’re not just saying words; you’re claiming them.

Our brains can’t tell the difference between what’s real and what’s imagined, which is why affirmations are so powerful. They can actually ‘rewire’ our thinking! *By doing this, you’re setting the stage not just for a good day but for a transformed life. *

These "I am" statements are like seeds that grow into the reality we live and breathe. They shape:

How we see ourselves
How we act
How confidently we walk through the world

And guess what? Our kids are in the front row, seeing it all. They see how we talk to ourselves, how we show up for ourselves every day, and they learn to do the same. We’re teaching our kids that self-care and self-respect start with how we talk to ourselves.

I still say my affirmations *every* *single* *morning.* I’ve learned to meet challenges and set a positive tone for myself and my whole family just by speaking with love to myself.

So, are you ready to join me?

Four Easy Ways to Make Affirmations a Part of Your Daily Life

As parents, we’re tasked with one of the most challenging yet rewarding jobs on the planet.

So, whether you’re feeling on top of the world or finding it hard to keep up, pausing for a moment to affirm your strength and brilliance daily can make all the difference. It will give you a foundation to anchor to when you need a boost or need to recenter and recharge.

And, it’s backed by science. Research shows that saying positive affirmations daily can boost your brain activity and actually help change your behavior. It’s amazing how something so simple can have such a powerful impact on your entire life.

It’s important to remember that consistency is the key. You’ve got to keep up with your affirmations every day to feel its impact. *It’s a habit that creates a life of joy, positivity, and happiness. *

Here are four simple ways to make affirmations a daily habit:

__Set an Alarm for Affirmation Time: __Incorporate affirmations by setting a daily alarm as a reminder. Morning? Night? Lunchtime? Pick a time that works for you and focus on your affirmations each day.
__Affirmation Stations: __Create specific spots around your home (like the bathroom mirror or the refrigerator door) where affirmation notes are easy to see and remind you to read them out loud and take a moment to focus on these important words.
__Affirmation Jars: __Get playful with it and make it into a game. Write different affirmations on slips of paper and place them in a jar. Draw one each morning to start the day with a fresh, empowering thought.
Weekly Affirmation Themes: Have a certain challenge that keeps coming up or a goal for yourself you want to achieve? Create one affirmation as a solution or outcome of that goal and focus on that affirmation all week long. Explore its depth and reinforce your practice by thinking about the impact you feel when you say the words each day.

Once you’ve set up a plan, here are some powerful affirmations to get you started. Choose one that resonates with you and start practicing it today. Then gradually incorporate more as you feel ready:

I Celebrate & Love Myself
I Am A Strong Leader & Believe In My Abilities
I Am Cool, Calm, & Calculated & Make Positive Choices For Myself And My Family
I Am Powerful, Strong, & Courageous
I Trust My Intuition & Am In Control Of My Happiness
