How Daily Affirmations Became My Morning Reset Ritual

✨ Introduction

Dear Busy Mum, I know what it takes to have too many things on your plate and to forget yourself in the process. As a young mum of two, juggling work, family, and the emotional weight of caregiving, I often found myself running on empty—especially during the holidays when expectations seem to multiply.

That’s when I discovered the power of daily affirmations. Not just reading them—but colouring them. It became my quiet rebellion against burnout. A ritual that helped me reconnect with myself, even if just for five minutes.

In this post, I’ll share how this simple practice transformed my mornings—and how you can create your own reset ritual, too.

💡 Tip #1 – Start with One Page, One Phrase

Don’t overthink it. Choose one affirmation that speaks to you—like “I am authentic” or “Peace begins with me.” Colouring that phrase slowly, mindfully, helps it sink in deeper than just reading it. It’s not about being artistic—it’s about being present.

🧘 Tip #2 – Make It a Ritual, Not a Task

Set a time that feels gentle. Maybe after the school run, or while your tea steeps. Keep your colouring book and pencils in a visible spot so it becomes part of your rhythm. Rituals don’t need to be perfect—they just need to be yours.

💬 Tip #3 – Let It Reflect Your Season of Life

Some days you’ll colour a full page. Other days, just a corner. That’s okay. Your affirmation practice should meet you where you are. I created my Daily Affirmations Colouring Book for Adults with this in mind—especially for women like us who crave calm but live in motion.

🎨 Tip #4 – Mix It Up with Creative Prompts

Try pairing your affirmation with a journal entry, a voice note, or even a short walk. Some mums I know use the colouring book with their kids—turning it into a shared moment of peace. There’s no wrong way to do this.

🌈 Tip #5 – Let It Lead You Back to Yourself

Lastly, remember: this isn’t just about colouring. It’s about reclaiming your voice. Your worth. Your joy. Affirmations are gentle reminders that you matter—not just as a mum, a partner, or a caregiver—but as you.

💛 Closing Statement
