Of course - if you know me you know I think the 4th trimester is more surprising than pregnancy or even birth.
Recently, I have been listening to new moms considering the components of their job description.
Now - you knew you would feed your kid (one way or another), change diapers, and be responsible for another being. Did you know you would also be a:
*entertainer
*protectress
*janitor
*mommy to a new baby - Daddy and the dog
*chef
*researcher
*available 24/7
*self sustainer
*activities director
*hairstylist
*nap buddy
Think about it some more - let your imagination run wild. Acknowledge the amazing you! Every second of the day you are resourceful. Managing your new role without a job description and never getting an evaluation or review.....you are doing it!
Flying by the seat of your pants - as it is often known.
And as you choose conscious parenting - you become more centered in yourself. Knowing, softening, acknowledge the beauty and strength within you as a parent. Also 'seeing' and accepting the challenges, the struggles, the fears and anxieties. Uniting the body and the breath with every step.
Let's add
*knowing yourself
as one of the things on your job description. Once you step into that space - your radiance uplifts you and your family. You connect with Spirit in a way that feeds YOU through all of this.
And speaking of feeding....more on breastfeeding in the next post.
Mamaste!
