Mama, if today feels like a lot, you’re not alone.
Postpartum isn’t just about healing physically. It’s about navigating big emotions, a new identity, and a life that suddenly revolves around keeping a tiny human alive while trying to remember who you are. Some days feel magical. Others? Really, really hard. And on those days, affirmations can be a gentle, grounding reminder that you are still whole, still worthy, and still doing an incredible job.
At Le Lolo, we believe in supporting every version of you. The strong one, the tired one, the crying-on-the-bathroom-floor one. So here are some affirmations for those really hard days when you just need a soft place to land.
For the days you feel overwhelmed:
-
I am allowed to feel everything. These feelings are valid, and they will pass.
-
I am doing my best, and that is always enough.
-
One moment at a time. One breath at a time.
For the days you feel invisible:
-
I matter. My needs matter. My rest matters.
-
I am worthy simply because I exist.
-
Even on the quiet days, I am making a difference.
For the days you feel like you're not enough:
-
I am exactly the mother my baby needs.
-
Perfection is not the goal, presence is.
-
I am learning, growing, and showing up, and that is powerful.
For the days you miss your old self:
-
I haven’t lost her, I’m becoming more of her.
-
This version of me is still beautiful, still strong, still worthy of love.
-
I am allowed to grieve who I was and celebrate who I’m becoming.
How to Use These Affirmations:
-
Say them out loud, even if it feels silly. Your brain listens.
-
Write them on your mirror, your phone wallpaper, or inside your breastfeeding journal.
-
Repeat one in the middle of the night, when you’re the only one awake, and it feels like the world forgot about you.
-
Say them to your baby, too. Let them hear strength and softness in your voice.
Mama, you are doing sacred, unseen work.
Affirmations aren’t magic, but they are medicine. They gently bring you back to yourself on days when you feel far away.
You are beautiful. You are strong. You are extraordinary. And you are never alone.
With love,
Le Lolo
