I absolutely loved Laura sharing about how it was what she needed for her mind, but not her body.
I think that in the postnatal care space, we focus a lot of physical recovery and it’s all about lying in bed for weeks and eating lots of nourishing food.
Which is great.
But the mind and the body do sometimes need very different things and I would certainly lose my mind resting fully until my body had healed!
I think I feel guilt about that sometimes because I’m 2.5 years in and still physically not right
And maybe if I’d lay in bed more I would be fine physically but I’m not sure how I’d be holding up overall
It’s a balance isn’t it and I don’t see that spoken about often
Am just sitting down to read with my Mother's Day cuppa. I don't know if I've mentioned this before Claire, but I have a sister who is 14 years older. 🥰
My oldest is 14 and my youngest is 12 and I find I’m just beginning to find my balance. I can look back and see more clearly now how truly hard those early years were. I loved reading your stories and how you are finding balance and being amidst it all.
This was super beautiful to read ❤️
