9 Mantras For The New Moms That You Have To Repeat Daily To Stay Sane

Motherhood is one of the most beautiful and simultaneously challenging experiences in a woman’s life. In those moments when you feel like you’re on edge and everything seems to be spiraling out of control, it’s crucial to remember you are not alone on this journey. 

Every day can bring new challenges and new opportunities for growth. Of course, you can use whatever techniques work for you – but these mantras will, hopefully, also help a little bit if you say them to yourself in the mirror every morning. You’re gonna get through this, and you’ve got this, mama.

While Motherhood Is A Breeze For Some, It Might Be Hard On Others

Whether you are one of those moms who feels like their pregnancy and their baby’s first months were a curse, a blessing, or a walk in the park, it’s important to remember that every motherhood experience is different. Some moms feel it’s very easy, and their kids sleep through the night; others have a meltdown on meltdown and post-partum depression to polish it off, and that’s okay. That’s normal. 

Every mother deserves all kinds of support. So it doesn’t really matter if you’re the perfect insta-mom (that’s amazing!) or a struggling mess like most of us, you might find these mantras somewhat helpful.

9 Mantras To Support New Mothers

You may say these in front of the mirror or just have them pop into your head from time to time – keep saying those to yourself in every way that you have energy for, and you will get through it soon enough.

1. You Are Enough

Let’s start with one of the most important truths you need to remind yourself of daily: you are enough. Being a mother is a job with no breaks, and the pressure to be perfect can be overwhelming. But perfection is a myth. 

You are doing your best, and that is more than enough. Embrace your imperfections and remember that your child loves you for who you are, not for the unrealistic ideal you think you need to be.

2. It’s Okay To Ask For Help

Supermom doesn’t exist. Yes, I said it. There’s no award for doing everything on your own and burning out in the process. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness; it’s a sign of strength. 

Reaching out when you need support, whether from your partner, family, or friends, is crucial. You don’t have to carry the world on your shoulders.

3. Self-Care Is Not Selfish

Taking care of yourself isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity. How can you pour from an empty cup? Whether it’s a quiet cup of coffee in the morning, a walk in the park, or a hot bath at the end of the day, these moments of self-care are vital for your mental and emotional well-being. You deserve them.

4. Progress Over Perfection

Every step you take, no matter how small, is progress. Celebrate the little victories, whether it’s getting through a tantrum without losing your cool or finally managing to get some sleep. 

Motherhood is a marathon, not a sprint, so give yourself credit for every step forward.

5. Breathe. Just Breathe

In moments of stress, when everything feels overwhelming, just breathe. A few deep breaths can do wonders to calm your mind and reset your emotions. It’s a simple yet powerful tool that can help you stay grounded in the chaos.

6. It’s Okay To Have A Bad Day

Some days are just brutal, and that’s okay. You’re not failing as a mother because you’re having a rough day. Give yourself permission to have those moments, to cry if you need to, and then let them go. Tomorrow is a new day.

7. Connection Is More Than Sex

Sure, sex might be the last thing on your mind, but you will not stop experiencing guilt for the lack of intimacy with your partner – but come on!

Intimacy in your relationship goes beyond physical connection. Yes, sex will return, but right now, it’s about maintaining the closeness and emotional bond with your partner.

If you’re really worried about him, and you think that he needs a “release,” suggest he uses one of those majestic male sex toys that are super high-tech and more like wellness than naughtiness, but still – it’s a fun and sexy way to show trust. 

The truth is, what he probably craves most is not to blow ogg some steam but to worship your body because it has just made a wonder right before his eyes and because you are the love of his life. It’s about the connection, not just the orgasm – though those are nice too, he-he.

8. You Are Doing Better Than You Think

It’s easy to be hard on yourself, especially when social media is full of picture-perfect images of motherhood. 

But remember, those are just highlights. You are doing an incredible job, even if it doesn’t always feel like it. Trust in your instincts and know that you are doing better than you think.

9. Love Yourself As Much As You Love Your Child

Finally, don’t forget to love yourself. You pour so much love and care into your child, but you deserve that same love and care. Be kind to yourself, forgive yourself for your mistakes, and celebrate the amazing mother you are.
