Our body will let us know when we’re doing too much, too soon. Our baby’s needs will force us to stop what we were doing to be present with her. We’ll notice that when we’re rushing, forcing, everything feels that much more overwhelming.
There is nothing fast about postpartum. It’s not meant to be streamlined. It takes time for our body to heal, time to learn our babies signals, time for us to gain confidence in our new role as mama, time to discover who we are all over again — it may all take a lifetime. And more than time, this phase of life demands our presence. In a world where we’ve become accustomed to instant gratification, powering through and multi-tasking, the concept of embracing slowness can be difficult to accept. I know it was for me, and still is. But this is our gentle reminder to do just that: Embrace the slowness. Embody it for yourself and everyone else. It’s rich, and lush, and juicy, and full of all the good stuff that we’re sure to miss when we’re moving too fast.
Slow down, mama. Blink, and the moment is already gone. 💐
