💖The best thing you can do for your baby is to be a happy mother.💖
And a happy mother begins with a happy woman. While embracing motherhood, don’t forget that you are an individual — a human being with your own needs, dreams, and desires. You are like a flower in your own pot, needing your own water and sunshine to truly thrive.
🌷Self-love is key.
Find time for the things you used to enjoy, even if only a little at first. Asking for time for yourself can feel impossible when you have a new little soul depending on you, but you can do it. “Me time” must remain true me time.
Going to work early may sometimes feel like a break, but that’s not the same — it simply helps preserve your sanity. It doesn’t refill your cup of self-love and energy. Learn to tell the difference.
So go have that coffee alone. Sign up for that yoga class you’ve been dreaming about. Have that glass of wine with a good friend. You deserve it. Don’t let your inner flame fade — you are the most important person in your own life, and the best example for your little baby.
With Love,
Your Dr P
