Attention new mamas! I know that life is hard. In one day we became a whole new person. We became: Mom. Giver of the food, comfort, love, cuddles, medicine, baths. Changer of diapers and clothes. Cleaner and chef of the house. Chauffeur. And so much more. It’s overwhelming. Suddenly we get to keep this tiny human alive. This tiny human that we grew inside of us. This human who is our heart living outside of our bodies. No pressure. Oh and uh we have to go on living the rest of our lives too. Keeping up our relationship, our health, our job, friendships, paying bills, chasing dreams. When all that seems to matter anymore is the child we just birthed. Like HELLO?!?! My body just created a miracle - have you seen it? It’s pretty cool. How am I supposed to concentrate on ANYTHING else??? I know it can be stressful trying to balance it all. So don’t. Do what you can, and if all you did today was keep yourself and that tiny human alive and happy today, then you’re doing a good job Mama. You control your thoughts - so why not choose to focus on the good? Comment below ONE thing you’re proud of yourself for today (and save for when you need to be reminded of how much of a superhero you are for just being YOU). #newmamalife #newmama #newmomlife #stressedmom #tiredmama #girlmomlife

Have y’all ever snoozed the alarm so many times it gave up on you and you woke up hours later? 😬 Here’s why this is actually incredibly bad for you and could be messing with your quality of sleep, which then affects your stress levels and immunity. If you went to sleep at a reasonable time and your alarm goes off, your body is naturally ready to get up and start the day. But when you hit snooze, your body is confused and soon won’t be able to naturally tell when it’s time to sleep and wake up. Which means you’ll have a harder time falling asleep, therefore when you wake up you’re groggy and hit the snooze button and the cycle continues. Also your REM cycle is very important for healing, developing and basically restoring your body back to factory settings after the long day. Without it you could experience migraines, stress, anxiety and it could even hinder your ability to lose weight. There are four stages of sleep: 1, 2, 3, and REM. 1 and 2 are light sleep, preparing you for deep sleep. 3 and REM are deep sleep, where your body is doing the good stuff. If you hit snooze you are starting your sleep cycle from the beginning, meaning you aren’t actually resting. So you wake up more groggy AND now you’re probably running late. Instead, create a badass morning routine that makes you want to jump out of bed! Don’t know how to create a morning routine? Come back for my next reel ♥️♥️♥️ #snoozin #bettersleep #teamnosleep #newparentslife

✨ How I fit into my pre-pregnancy clothes 3 months postpartum. ✨ I didn’t. I was very lucky that I lost a lot of my pregnancy weight very early. So I found my maternity clothes started falling off of me. I was excited to pull out my pre-pregnancy clothes and wear my old faves again. But those didn’t fit either. So I found myself either wearing oversized clothes and feeling like a hobbit or wearing too tight clothes to make myself feel “normal” again. Nope. I bought some new clothes. Not a ton because #budget. But some workout shorts, every day shorts and some jeans. It felt SO good to have clothes that actually fit me and made me feel like a million bucks!! You can lose all the weight in the world, but if you don’t fix your mindset, you’re just going to find yourself back in the same place you were in before. The numbers and letters on my clothes and scale do not define me. I was happy to size up and feel comfortable in my clothes as I work on strengthening my body. Don’t let the numbers run your life. As yourself: How do you FEEL in your body? And work from there. #postpartumbody #postpartumdepression #postpartumweightloss #fourthtrimester #weightlossjourney #weightlosstransformation

It took a podcast and a perfectly placed rainbow 🌈 to give me the gut check I needed. WHO and WHAT matters in your life? Do they know that they matter? Do you do the things that matter every day or are you on autopilot? See the thing that @trentshelton reminded me in this podcast is that everybody dies but not everyone truly lives. And that’s terrifying. We live these “OK” lives. 💸Ok jobs 🏡Ok houses ♥️Ok relationships with loved ones Content to go to work, cook dinner, take the kids to soccer practice, go to sleep and do it all over again. Living life on autopilot. If this is you, take this as your sign to snap out of it and live a life you’re obsessed with!!
