Whatever it is that makes mommy feel
delicious is what you should be doing!
Baby will pick up on sad, resentful, angry feelings just as much as they will pick up on feelings of joy and feeling alive! Not only are we helping ourselves by feeling joyous and energized but we are teaching our children which feelings to get used to as well.
Does that perspective help?
If you spend most of your time feeling frustrated and negative, children learn that's the norm. If you spend your time thinking and feeling about being the spicy, sexy and full of life, then the becomes the norm for their way of life.
I strive to be my best paving the way for Olivia to be her best ( and some days are better than others!).
Change your perspective and everything else will fall into place, the routine stuff and the things you do for just you.
When everything around you is reflecting back what you don't want, go inward and make the adjustments from the inside out. In time, everything on the outside will reflect the rich and positive inner world you've cultivated. It takes a lot of commitment and mind training but it's entirely possible.
