Being a mom is the most beautiful thing – and sometimes the most challenging.
We give endlessly: love, energy, patience, presence.
And in all of that giving, we often forget that we also need space.
Space to breathe, to feel, to come back home to ourselves.
Self-care is not a luxury.
It is a way of reconnecting – with your body, your soul, your heart.
🌿 A new body, a new version of me
I often feel that being a mother – and being a woman – still doesn’t feel completely effortless for me.
Even after more than three years, I sometimes feel like I don’t fully know my body anymore, as if it’s no longer entirely “mine.”
I sometimes miss my “old self” – the feeling of moving through life freely, sensually, lightly.
And this is exactly where self-care begins: not on the outside, but in acceptance.
In softness with ourselves.
In moments where we allow ourselves to simply be – without comparison, without pressure.
💎 Small rituals with big impact
Self-care doesn’t have to mean meditating for hours or going to a spa.
Sometimes it’s as simple as a quiet moment with an eye pillow resting over your eyes.
Or a single mindful breath, a walk in the sun, a warm shower with conscious breathing.
Maybe even a short mala meditation – just for you.
It’s not about having time.
It’s about lovingly choosing to take it.
🌙 The return to yourself
When you nourish yourself, you automatically nourish your child.
Your energy, your calmness, your love ripple outward.
And at the same time, know this:
It’s okay to miss yourself.
It’s okay to not love everything all the time.
It’s okay to simply be you.
Self-care is not a destination – it’s a path.
A quiet return to your own rhythm.
Day by day, breath by breath.
