When so many life adjustments happen at the same time, it is difficult to figure out which one to focus on first. So, where can you start?
I remember when I first had my baby, I wanted to workout, eat right, reconnect with my spiritual practices, have a social life, get back on a regular sleep schedule, and find ways to creatively date my husband. It was so overwhelming that I didn’t know where to start.
I eventually learned that I could only introduce one new goal a week. By doing this, I was successful in slowly creating a new routine with a baby. I want to share with you a few tips and strategies that were helpful to me related to nutrition, self-care, sleep, and movement and wellness.
Here are a few tips to help you
get organized:
Make a to-do list with the top 2-3 things you would like to get done for the day.
Plan your meals for the week; maybe start with just planning breakfast or just dinner until you get into the swing of things.
Write a nice note or affirmation that is visible to yourself daily.

Give yourself grace during this time, your entire life has changed.
