Feeling down
Show your support
I tend to fall into funk state once in a while. What helps me is watching deep documentaries about life hardship to give me a reality check to remind myself how many amazing things and people I have in my life. Also travel and trips planning/booking usually gives me a mood boost. Being outside, walk on a trail, soaking up the sun is always a good go too.
I try to go outside for even 20-30mins by myself for a nice peaceful walk to settle myself, or go out to buy a fancy coffee and remember that my child will only be this little once. I am more of a homebody to begin with though so I’m usually ok just need the occasional child free break to remember I am a whole human being not just somebody’s mother. Though I do enjoy my LO immensely.
I have recently arranged time to myself. And that makes it all better. It’s so hard getting an hour or two to yourself but man it’s sooooo good!! My pre baby life was so different to this one and I do miss it a lot, just remind myself to feel grateful to have experienced such a great pre baby life and time to build a great mama life. A massage, bath, wine, walk on your own is really special. Just needs some organising 😂
And as you know… you will be fine! Just need to get through the lows. We all experience them. You are totally not alone 🥰
