TEACHING MYSELF HOW TO EMBROIDER! 💫
When I’m tired, but I cannot get my brain to slow down for rest, I’ve been turning to CREATIVITY! ✨
There are so many different types of rest— physical, mental, social, sensory— I often forget about creative rest! 💫
Creating small moments to allow yourself to find stillness & focus on creating something just for you that YOU ENJOY, allows your nervous system to feel safe, grounded & regulated.💖
I often find my postpartum clients have trouble finding rest during the day. I struggled with this personally with all 3 of my babies— I’d be exhausted but just could NOT rest!!! 🫣
My body would be tense, my mind would be racing— sometimes out of pure excitement that I was going to get to rest! LOL 😂
Finding small moments, even just 5-10 minutes, for fresh air, or laying down while deep breathing, or doing something creative can add up to HUGE benefits during your postpartum! 💫
Does it have to be learning to embroider? Absolutely NOT! 😂 BUT—taking a moment here & there to journal, draw, doodle, color, anything that allows you to relax your shoulders & focus on something you enjoy creating can be greatly beneficial in caring for yourself! 💖
