Hey there, i may not not be close to you and I may be a perfect stranger but I felt that I had to reach out to you.
First you need to know not everyone has EVERYTHING together. It’s just that no one tells you if they’re crying in the bathroom while their tot is having a fit in the loving room and they don’t tell you when they’ve gone bat
@t crazy on their children when they just didn’t listen.
Second, it takes time. You need to love yourself first. You need to know that our bodies go through a lot of changes during pregnancy and childbirth and even post partum - bringing another little human being into this world is no mean feat but you did it and for that, you deserve all the love and blessings that you can give yourself.
Be an inner coach instead of an inner critic - be gentle with yourself.
Take baby steps and set do-able targets. If you don’t make it the first time, tell yourself, I’ll try again tomorrow. When you manage to work out 2 days in a row, tell yourself, I am a champ.
It’s a busy period, but if you do intense exercises for 20-30min with your baby, every other day, it’ll do. Changes may be slow but the first thing you need to regain is your strength. Being healthy and fit for yourself and your family is more important.
I have done what you’re doing twice and I’m into my third time postpartum. Mothers are out there who are facing the same thing as you.
Again, remember to love yourself. Also, remember, LIFE LOVES YOU. If it didn’t, all the blessings that you’ve received (sit down and count them when you have the time) wouldn’t have happened.
Sending all my love to you.
