How to Stop Negative Self-Talk (Tea Time with Your Mom Therapist ☕️)
Let’s have a little tea time, mama—just you and me.
Because I know you’ve had those moments…
The ones where you look in the mirror and think, “I’m failing.”
When you forget something and immediately say, “Ugh, I’m such a mess.”
When you scroll social media and hear yourself whisper, “Why can’t I get it together like her?”
That, my friend, is negative self-talk.
And even if you don’t realize it, those small, quiet thoughts are shaping how you feel—about your day, your worth, and your role as a mother.
Why Negative Self-Talk Hits Moms So Hard
As moms, we carry a lot. And somewhere along the way, the pressure to “do it all” turned into a loop of self-blame whenever we fall short.
Here’s what that can sound like:
“I’m not patient enough.”
“I’m messing up my kids.”
“I can’t keep up.”
“Everyone else is doing better than me.”
But here’s the truth:
You are not your thoughts.
You are not failing.
You are doing the best you can with what you have.
And that deserves way more compassion than you’re giving yourself.
How to Shift the Narrative
Let’s break the cycle together. You don’t have to be stuck in a loop of self-criticism.
Here’s how we begin to shift negative self-talk into something gentler and more empowering:
1. Notice It Without Judgment
Before you can change your thoughts, you have to notice them.
When that inner critic pipes up, pause and ask: Would I say this to my best friend?
2. Name the Thought—Then Challenge It
“I’m a bad mom” becomes: “I’m having a hard day, and that doesn’t make me a bad mom.”
Shift from shame to curiosity: What do I need right now?
3. Speak to Yourself With Kindness
Try these gentle affirmations when the negative talk creeps in:
“I’m allowed to have bad days.”
“I’m not perfect, but I am present.”
“I’m doing the best I can, and that is enough.”
