Aromatherapy Diffuser: My aromatherapy diffuser has become my daily retreat. Not only did we take it to the hospital with us for labor (I know you remember the smells…), but now I use it in my office. Depending on my mood that day, it helps me to set the tone for a calm atmosphere that helps me unwind and recharge.
Mindfulness Journal: Taking a few minutes each day to jot down my thoughts and feelings in a mindfulness journal has been incredibly therapeutic. It's like a mini-therapy session where I can release tension, gain clarity, and reflect on the ups and downs of motherhood.
Heated eye mask: This one may be a little bougie, but hear me out…these disposable heated eye masks have been a game-changer! I know that finding the time to really pamper yourself these days is few and far between, but these simple and affordable masks are my little luxuries that help me relax, rejuvenate, and recharge.
Herbal Tea Sampler: Enjoying a cup of herbal tea has become a nightly ritual that signals the end of a busy day. I’ve been really trying to avoid the toxic “mommy wine culture” and looking forward to a yummy cup of tea after baby is asleep has helped me make that swap that much easier! BTW - try out the honey vanilla chamomile, it’s delicious!
Kindle: Finding hobbies again postpartum has been hard. I have always loved reading, but now with the little one, it was difficult to find time to buy a book, let alone lug it everywhere. My Kindle has been a godsend. It allows me to not only buy books instantly (although I still love the smell of a good paperback) but it allows me to escape into a good book during precious naptime hours, wherever we may be. Its glare-free screen and adjustable lighting make it easy on the eyes, ensuring I can unwind and immerse myself in a story whenever I have a moment to spare..
Adult Coloring Book: Discovering adult coloring books has been a surprising joy. It's a creative outlet that helps me unwind and quiet my mind after a hectic day. I’ve recently been into THIS one - shout out to my ACOTAR sisters!
Calming Body Lotion: Treating myself to a luxurious calming body lotion infused with lavender has become a nightly indulgence. It not only nourishes my skin but also signals to my body that it's time to relax and unwind before bed. Plus! I’ve adapted this routine into baby boy’s nighttime with this lotion, and he went from sleeping 5 hours to 12 hours!!
Incorporating these mindful practices into my daily routine has not only helped me navigate the challenges of motherhood but has also allowed me to thrive and cherish precious moments with my little ones. Remember, mama, taking care of yourself is just as vital as caring for your family. Here's to discovering your own moments of peace and joy in this exhilarating journey of motherhood!
