3 Affirmations for a Great Day

I don’t know about you, but I’ve always been a lover of a good quote or positive affirmation. It has since become one way I get my mind back on track when my day isn’t going as planned.

Below you’ll find three of my favorite affirmations that I use to refocus, and keep perspective.

Affirmation #1: Is it a bad day, or a bad five minutes?
This one is key for me when everything seems to go spiraling out of control. One incident (or one child meltdown) doesn’t have to ruin the whole day (for you or for them).

Affirmation #2: Everything is happening for me.
This helps to rid my brain of the “why me” attitude when things aren’t going well. If you believe that everything is happening for you, then even the tough stuff is placed in our life to teach us something! What a game changer!

Affirmation #3: This is just the beginning.
Good, bad, or otherwise, we all need reminders that this is not the end of our road. When things are going well, it’s important to remind ourselves of this because it reminds us to not just sit back and smell the roses, but to keep going, the abundance in your life will only continue to multiply. The same can be said for the tough times. This is only the beginning – there will be struggles along the way.

The thing with affirmations like these, is repeating them enough so that you are actually living in line with the belief that these things are true. You might be able to fool others, but you can not fool the universe (God, Gods, the cosmos, whatever you believe in personally). All we are, all everything is, is energy. We attract what we put out there.

Stay inspired, friends!

Meet Bryn

Constantly busy. Constantly there for others and doing what I thought (real or assumed) as expected of me.

In February of 2009 my life changed forever. Actually, it started years prior- 2003 maybe, with my mom’s original diagnosis. On that February day and the days that followed I found myself questioning everything. “Should I stay in school? Are my younger siblings doing ok? My dad CANNOT take care of himself. Should I go home to make sure they’re all alright?” Those are just a fraction of the things I asked myself.

Anger. I also remember feeling so angry. “How could she? Why us? Why me? Why now, when I’m about to graduate college, my sister is about to graduate high school and my brother just starting high school?” Don’t even get me started on my sister’s graduation party and the anxiety over making it as perfect as possible for her despite the huge sadness that accompanied it all.

One day I’ll be gone. I don’t know when or how – none of us do. Something random could take me out tomorrow (not morbid it’s just life). I do know this – I will do whatever I can to delay that truth. I will do whatever I can in the here and now to make my kids a little more prepared.

People always preach “self-care”. I do at times, too. For me it comes from a deep ache. It comes from a place I don’t want anyone else to find themselves in.

It took a lot of grief, lessons in patience, a marriage, a divorce, another marriage and navigating mothering through it all, now with step-kids under my wings also. Step-kids that are adopted to their parents and have undergone more hurt than they deserve. Step-kids that have taught me so much about love and hurt.

Love and hurt. We can’t have one without the other, can we? I found myself lost. I was completely lost in motherhood that I began neglecting my own needs and the needs of my first marriage – hence why there was a second one (I didn’t say this was a pretty story – just a real one).

Now I’m slowly rebuilding my world while focusing on my health – all my health – mental and physical. Equally important.

My journey is far from over, but I've chose to share my journey both as a recounting and remembering for me, but more importantly, so maybe it will save someone else a bit of pain in their own journey – or at least let you know you’re not alone.

If you’ve read this far, welcome. Also, thank you. I’m happy to have you in this space with me.

The best part, is that I know this is only the beginning.

Have you spent so much time trying to care for everyone else that you feel like you're loosing yourself? Have you been feeling run down, or that you've lost yourself in motherhood? Are you feeling uninspired?

It's time to start doing the things that fill you up. It's time to make simple changes to feel like yourself outside of motherhood so that you can then be the best mother possible to your kids. They deserve you at your best.
