Who am I? Rediscover Yourself in the Midst of Motherhood
The journey of motherhood is an amazing and wonderful experience, but it can also be quite challenging and overwhelming at times. As a new mom, it's important to take some time for yourself to discover who you are now that you're a mother.
How do you find yourself after having a baby?
The journey of motherhood can often create a priority of taking care of your baby first. While yes, your baby must have their needs met at all times, it's imperative that you also find yourself after having a baby.
Once you've become a mother, something inside you changes forever. This change can be positive if you allow it to. That's why we wanted to share some tips that help you make yourself a priority so you can continue to grow and figure out who you are in the midst of motherhood duties.
Below are just a handful of ways you can make sure to put yourself first. Each of these practices will help you figure out who you are now, what you want to be, and how you can be a better person for everyone, including yourself.
Take Care of Your Body
It's important to take care of yourself physically as a new mom. Make sure you're getting enough sleep, eating healthy foods, and exercising regularly. Taking care of your body will help you feel better both mentally and physically.
Connect with Other Moms
One of the best ways to rediscover yourself as a new mom is to connect with other moms. Try joining a mom group or finding a local playgroup to meet other expecting and/or new moms who have the same interests as you. It's also helpful to find a few close friends who are going through the same experience as you.
Find Time for Yourself
As a new mom, it can be difficult to carve out time to do the things you enjoy. However, it's important to find time for yourself even if it feels difficult at first. Start by finding just 30 minutes a day to do something that rejuvenates you; whether it be taking a bath or reading your favorite book.
