This week wasn’t about pushing harder; it was about trusting the slow pace.❤️
My first postpartum period came early, Rosie’s been struggling with colic, and the days have felt long. There were moments where I was completely drained, covered in baby spit-up, wondering if I’d ever feel like myself again.
But in between the chaos, there were small wins:
a quiet cup of coffee before the house woke up, a walk that cleared my head, a workout where I focused more on form than intensity. I’m realizing that progress doesn’t always look like doing more; sometimes it’s choosing to pause instead of pushing.
I’m learning to redefine what “showing up” means. Some days that’s 10,000 steps and a solid workout. Other days, it’s choosing rest, nourishing meals, and patience with my body as it continues to heal.
Because even on the slow weeks, the ones that test you, stretch you, and make you question your strength, you’re still moving forward. You’re still growing. You’re still doing the work. 💗
