Yesterday was the first time I did a full yoga flow since giving birth. It felt rejuvenating to be able to get back in touch with myself and my practice… I have been struggling with feeling impatient, and negative emotions coming up around not being able to be active / not being strong like before I was pregnant. It is actually hard for me to be easy on myself. But I was able to do more than I thought, which was really uplifting for me. I always tell people to ‘give yourself grace;’ I struggle to listen to my own advice. Self love has always been a challenge for me, but what helps is staying in the moment — how you feel today, enjoying life and whatever you can out of each day. All the judgement and criticism, it just doesn’t make you feel any better; if it doesn’t serve you, serve yourself and stop ruminating. Time never stops moving forward, and neither do you—your body and mind are fluid, malleable and different every day! Listen to and honor your body. Live today — not in the past or future. Remind yourself this as often as you need to. ♥️
