When you become a new mom, everything you can think about is your sweet little baby and this is very natural. Each day feels like a mixture of firsts: bursting joy mixed with complete exhaustion, and everything I feel is that I couldn’t be happier.

Motherhood probably is the most important job in the world, and it’s also the most demanding. You can experience extraordinary highs and lows. It can challenge your sense of self, putting you under incredible strain physically and emotionally. It calls upon every part of you – physical, mental, emotional, spiritual – and requires tremendous patience, diligence, kindness and humility. And as we find ourselves as the ultimate caregivers, we can easily forget about ourselves and our needs. The thing that helps to do this job and keep you balanced and energized is yoga. You are only able to nurture if you are nourished, give care to others if you are capable of caring for yourself.
It is obvious that 1 hour yoga class or several hours in spa center sound fantastic these days, but you can start easy, with short rituals, that will help you feel better, stay nurtured and relaxed. Instead of scrolling the social media or hundreds of mom’s websites it’s better to spend this time for self-care.
It is very understandable, that there will be days when you don’t have time for any of these rituals and this is very normal. Remember that you can always try again tomorrow.
