Love Bombs
It is amazing how we speak to ourselves sometimes. We can speak overly critical to ourselves or be full of judgment. At other times, we can be downright mean. “How could you?” “You are the worst mother.” “Everyone else is better at this than you!” “You’re so dumb.” We have to ask ourselves, would we talk to our friends this way? What about our children? The answer is probably, never. So why do we do this to ourselves?
Today, try to talk to yourself like you would to your best friend. What would you say? “You’re doing a great job.” “This is hard and you are doing your best.” “You are an amazing mom.”
You're doing an amazing job,
This is hard but you’re doing it.
It’s ok to not love every minute of being a mom.
It will get better.
You are amazing.
You’ve gotten through worse, you will get through this.
I am so proud of you for what you have been able to handle not everyone can do this.
You are trying so hard.
That worry shows just how much you do care.
