LIFESTYLE NEWS - Ask any new mom – having a newborn is probably the most euphoric experience that you will ever go through.
You will feel an overflow of love and happiness.
You will exist in a little baby bubble, where all you do is marvel at the little hands and feet that you created.
Unfortunately, you will also walk around with one eye open, wondering whether the difference between night and day even matters anymore.
Motherhood doesn’t leave much time for relaxation or ‘me time’ – let alone a decent shower!
Before you know it, you’re snapping at everyone from your husband, to the neighbour who toots his horn (how dare he?!) and the poor family dog who hasn’t got the memo that he’s not allowed to bark anymore.
But, you can’t pour from an empty cup.
Which is why it’s so important to carve out even just 10 minutes for yourself, and ultimately those around you (read: hubby).
In order to take care of your baby, you need to take care of yourself. And, you don’t need to escape to the spa to do so (although, that will never hurt!).
Slow down and relax, even if it’s just for 10 minutes each day.
It may seem impossible, but I promise you, just a few minutes spent on yourself each day will give you that extra ‘oomph’ to tackle the madness that is motherhood.
Not sure what to do?
