And Baby Makes Busy
Filed Under Mom Talk |
While all couples fantasize about and glamorize the arrival of their first born, I think very few are ever really prepared for the challenges that lie ahead. I have seen many couples, even those who receive a great deal of family support, reeling a couple months after their babies’ arrival.
A big part of the challenge, especially for women, is that we expect to do it all. We set unrealistic goals that make us feel like we are not succeeding at anything and failing a lot of things. Don’t be a victim of this vicious cycle of mommy destruction. It will be devastating to your mental and physical health.
The reality is many of us are striving to live the dream and forgetting to live our lives. Be present to the very essence of what life is about. Allow motherhood to slow you down. Smell the roses instead of speeding up because you’ll miss the beauty in it all!
In health,
