Videos like this get me in the feels.
And hit even harder on the days when mumming feels looong and you feel under appreciated. When their big little feelings are hard to regulate.
I donât know if the dads have these same feelings. We grow these tiny humans and our bodies expand and change and grow. Our postpartum breaks us apart and puts us back together again and we feed and soothe these little people. We make the breakfasts and pack the lunches and kiss the scraped knees. We mediate friendships and are the taxi to after school activities.
We give everything, selflessly, but sometimes forget OURselves.
They get bigger and many women get smallerâŠ
I have many âwhysâ and this video highlights one of them. The strength to be able to pick my girls up beyond early childhood. To have an extended period of time where I CAN pick them up if I want to or need to.
My advice to you is this ~ these years are busy, you will be needed during this time more than you ever will in your entire life. Itâs messy, itâs brutal, itâs beautiful and it requires energy that needs to be replenished.
Your health, strength and vitality need to be put on the to-do list too. If you fall, everyone falls.
Eat the food. Lift the weights. Work on your nervous system.
Get strong so that this last pick up can be way further away than you think x
