Self-LOVE

​I mention "self-care" a lot when I'm speaking with new Mothers. There are a ton of reasons for putting it off but at the end of the day, if you're not taking care of yourself, eventually, you will become depleted. I urge you to take the time to nourish yourself, you're important and you're quite likely the "project manager" of your home so treat yourself to some tender loving care.
​
​You are worth it.

Here are some ideas to get you started, this list is not exhaustive but rather a starting point to help shift your focus towards what fuels you.
  • Take a bath or a long hot shower, alone.
  • Get outside, reconnecting with nature is a great way to reset perspectives.
  • Play, ride your bike, go swimming, do something physical to get your heart pumping.
  • Eat well, nourish your body, mind and soul with healthy tasty foods.
  • Connect with friends or join a peer group, Squamish has a ton of them! (check out the Resources page) 
  • Make yourself a cup of tea or coffee and sip it while it's still warm.
  • Find your own rhythm, it takes time to develop new routines.

​Be gentle with yourself new Mothers, this is a big transition!
