This is my 3rd postpartum experience, and I wanted to see what would happen if I approached it differently.
What if I intentionally cared for myself spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically during pregnancy and into postpartum?
Before having Miss Dally Mae, I had already begun a deep personal growth journey. It gave me tools that I didnโt have during my previous postpartum seasons and so far, at 2 weeks postpartum, I can genuinely feel the difference.
A few intentional habits that are helping me:
โจ Time in the Word, prayer and my She Glows Journal
โจ Daily gratitude (especially when postpartum anxiety tries to creep in)
โจ Prioritizing protein and nourishing foods
โจ Electrolytes daily
โจ Postnatal vitamins
โจ Morning & evening skincare rituals
โจ Getting dressed/ ready ish even if itโs 2 PM
โจ Fresh air with baby and the kids
โจ Tiny cleaning tasks to keep our home from feeling overwhelming
โจ Plenty of rest, baby snuggles, and gratitude for this season
None of these things take huge amounts of time. Theyโre small acts of stewardship woven throughout my day, but theyโre making a big difference in my mood, recovery, and overall well-being.
Iโm not focused on โbouncing back.โ Iโm focused on healing well, being present, and becoming the healthiest version of myself for my family.
