Postpartum - feeling a little lost

Hi all, I’m not quite sure how to describe this but I hope some mothers out there understand where I’m coming from. I absolutely am in love with my baby and I have so much more love for my partner now that we are a family. I do have to say that my life has changed dramatically since having a baby (now 4 months) and that’s not to say it’s a bad thing but I just feel totally lost. In terms of identity - I used to have so much energy. I practiced a lot of yoga and felt very connected to myself and my purpose. I would always be on the go. But now - I feel my life has slowed down a lot compared to how I used to go about my life. Any tips as to how to regain the spark back and how to regain motivation. Thank youuu!!! ✨💫✨💫✨

I'm going through the same, you are probably drained from delivering a child and then hormonal changes are brutal. My best advice is to give yourself some grace, try to find ways to breathe. You cannot give to others what you don't have for yourself

So true, well said @carina

You are still very early in the post partum phase my love x it will come back. Be gentle, eat and treat yourself well, and let your hormones and body do its thing. It will all come back I promise x

Thank you! I appreciate all of your replies, it’s hard to let go of what was before. But I think that’s the key here that I’ve come to terms with. The reason why I’m not yet feeling that spark is because I’m romanticising my old life and not let go - do what is needed is for me to let go of what was to make space for a new identity to unfold & which comes with different blessings ✨💖 the journey of letting go begins now ☺️

It's easier to let go when you're excited about the next thing. Romanticise motherhood x stinky nappies and the rock, paper, scissors (on who changes it) that comes with them! Laying in the sun and watching babe chew on grass. The sweet cuddles you get after they feed. Their little socks ending up all over the house. Motherhood is so romantic x
