• Pair an affirmation with a small actionmake tea, take a walk, stretch for one minute.
• Encourage journaling: write the affirmation and one sentence about why it matters today.

Personalizing and mindful reminders

Not every affirmation will land the same way. If a line feels untrue, tweak it. For example, change I am calm to I can find moments of calm. The goal is a phrase that nudges her gently toward kindness, not one that creates pressure. Remind her that the point is steady practicesmall repeats over time create the shift.

Affirmations are a simple, loving tool you can share with your mum to brighten her days, support her rest, and remind her she is seen. Use them as notes, texts, or morning breaths. The smallest steady kindness to herself becomes the strongest kind of care.
