A Year of Coloring Affirmations for New Mothers - Adult Coloring Book

Combine the therapeutic art of coloring with the power of positive thinking!

“A Year of Coloring Affirmations for New Mothers” is an adult coloring book that includes 52 coloring pages of positive affirmations to give new mothers the encouragement, confidence, inner strength and coping abilities they need to get through the unexpected ups and downs of the early years of motherhood.

Motherhood is something that nobody can really prepare for. You can read every book, follow every routine, do everything right, have the “perfect” baby, and still not cope. Sometimes it’s hormones, sometimes it’s post natal depression, and sometimes it’s just a bad day.

In those moments, it’s hard to ask for help, but sometimes all it takes is an encouraging word or a boost of confidence to get through. One positive thought can change your entire day.

Affirmations can sometimes feel forced and it can be hard to embrace them. We are encouraged by experts to repeat our affirmations out loud, multiple times a day. Coloring page affirmations combine the therapeutic art of coloring with the power of positive thinking and visualization. Through the meditation and mindful focus of coloring, you are absorbing the positive message on each page without having to force yourself to repeat it. You are expanding the concept of positive affirmations to appeal to more of your senses – rather than just speaking and hearing, you can now touch and visualize as well. By working on the same page for multiple days, you are establishing positive thoughts in your long term memory and changing your entire way of thinking.
