Hey beautiful souls! Today, I want to dive into the topic of postpartum. Let's shatter the myth that postpartum ends at six weeks.
First off, let's talk about easing back into activities. Remember, your body just went through something incredible, and it needs time to heal and adjust. It's okay to take things slow, to give yourself grace, and to listen to what your body is telling you. Rushing back into intense workouts or activities might do more harm than good. So, let's honor our bodies and take baby steps towards our fitness goals.
And can we talk about the pressure to count every single carb or calorie postpartum? It's exhausting, isn't it? While it's important to nourish our bodies with healthy foods, we donโt want to obsess about our food. Let's focus on eating intuitively, fueling our bodies with wholesome foods, and giving ourselves permission to indulge in treats guilt-free. Because life is too short for food guilt.
Lastly, let's chat about the choices we make today and how they can impact us in the long run. Just because we can do something doesn't necessarily mean we should. Whether it's pushing ourselves too hard physically, neglecting our mental health, or sacrificing self-care for the sake of productivity, remember that self-preservation is key. Let's make choices today that our future selves will thank us for.
Remember to be gentle with yourself. Embrace the process, honor your body, and know that you are doing an amazing job. You've got this.
