20 Affirmations for Busy Mom Bloggers

By Jennifer James | Tweet this article

I have been blogging since January 2004 and now, five years later, I feel a powerful shift in mom blogging taking place. There is an incessant flurry of blogging information to soak up and learn, more and more companies to connect with, phenomenal opportunities around every corner, tons of products to review, and increasing competition to rise to the “tipping point” ranks of the mom blogosphere. To be sure, it is a thrilling time to be a mom blogger. But it is also an optimal time to take a moment to reflect on why we all started blogging in the first place. For me, it was to connect with moms, voice my opinion to the world, and hone my skills as a writer and I never want to forget that.

Here are 20 affirmations for busy mom bloggers perfect for times when life seems to go a little too fast and blogging seems like it’s more of an obligation than a gift.

I love my blog.

My job as a mom blogger is to be true to myself.
There are plenty of opportunities for everyone.
Meeting new mom bloggers is an experience I treasure.
Mom blogging is a cherished gift.
I am a great blogger.
I am not afraid to challenge myself as a blogger.
I have an influential voice in the blogosphere.
I am grateful for my blog.
I am thankful for each and every one of my readers.
I am appreciative that my family supports my need to blog.
Every experience I have had as a blogger has been worth it.
I am thankful for my ability to write.
It is gratifying to know I am chronicling my life’s journey for my children and grandchildren.
My blog is my personal sanctuary.
I will do my part to make the mom blogosphere a nurturing community.
My blog is an extension of myself, not my whole self.
I will cherish every comment.
I love being a creator of good content.
I am a mom blogger and I love it.

Excellent thoughts, thanks!

Comment by Christie on February 26, 2009 at 7:33pm: This was great! Thanks, Jennifer!

Comment by Mom Bloggers Club on February 26, 2009 at 1:35pm: Thanks, everyone! So glad you like these.

Comment by Ann Harrison on February 26, 2009 at 12:11pm: This deserves to be printed and put in my little blog-log. Thank you Jennifer. I will think of what affirmation I can add to the list.

Comment by Liz Thompson on February 26, 2009 at 11:21am: Printing this and pasting it on the fridge -- LOVE IT!

Comment by Chefdruck on February 26, 2009 at 1:05am: I love the concept of my blog being a personal sanctuary. Well said!

Comment by Cindi Matthews on February 26, 2009 at 12:54am: Truly agree with all that you've said. I had a diary when I was a kid, and writing is a natural extension of myself. The hardest thing for me is to get my family to accept that blogging is a worthwhile passion, and not some type of dysfunctional personality trait. My blogging friends are just as *real* as my IRL friends. My family reads my blogs, but just doesn't see the point of writing for *people I don't know.*

Anybody else?

Comment by Kathleen on February 25, 2009 at 10:05pm: That's great thanks. I could use some of those.

Comment by Semi-Slacker Mom on February 25, 2009 at 10:00pm: Great list!!!

Comment by MJ Tam on February 25, 2009 at 10:00pm: Love it!!! Thank you for writing this Jennifer!

Comment by Mariana on February 25, 2009 at 9:57pm: I write easily and effortlessly and I'm an excellent writer.

I read something like this about writing recently, and that affirmation stuck with me. I repeat it to myself during those moments when I'm stuck, which lately seems to be quite often!

I love the idea of mom blogger affirmations - my "Joyful Pregnancy" affirmations (Hypnobabies) kept me sane towards the end of my last trimester!
