The last few years, you have been one busy woman, working, exercising, socializing, renovating, trying to get pregnant, training a new puppy, making sure the extended family is happy! Phew it’s exhausting, but we are all doing it, right?
Whatever your days were filled with, it’s a sure bet they were filled! Now your baby has arrived and we are suddenly filled with the expectation of the mother we should be, we better not get it wrong.
The pressure of listening to everyone else’s opinion; should we breastfeed, should we sleep train, should we buy disposable nappies or wash our own; how long do I breastfeed, do I go back to work and put my child in daycare…. so many opinions that self doubt starts to creep in.
All this chatter, combined with sleep deprivation, makes you an easy target to actually listen to all these opinions. When really it is the voice inside yourself that you should be listening to, your intuition.
You may have lost it in all this “noise” but it’s easy to get it back. Mother earth is inside you and your baby needs you to get all the noise out of your head. Come back to that little voice inside yourself, start believing in your intuition and this will guide you to be the perfect mother to your baby, not anyone else’s baby, but yours. This is true bonding, getting quiet and tuning into your baby and yourself.
You are his or her mother and you know what is the right thing to do, it just takes practice and you can start by meditating. You will thank yourself that you took the time for YOU. Put all the chatter aside for a moment and think to your self, “I need to listen to myself more often!” What you will gain from bringing mindfulness into your life is a more joyful mothering experience.
