🌙 As a third time mom, I know the nights can be tough. They can feel so long, so lonely, so hard to get through.
You don’t have to trick yourself, engage in toxic positivity, or romanticize the nights. They are HARD. Say it out loud: “This sucks. I’m tired. I want to sleep. This is really exhausting.” All of that can be, and likely is, true.
But we can’t stay in that mindset all night. We have to reframe and shift. We have to take back the day (or night) and keep going.
Validate. Reframe. Continue.
These little mind shifts at night have helped me tremendously in my first week as a third time mom. I hope they can help another mom out there too.
You are not alone 💛
