For the 1st year of my daughters life I was in a funk. Thankfully not depression; I couldn’t imagine. But, I was definitely not “myself”. I re-joined hot yoga and that helped me SO much. Just taking 2 hours out of the day to focus on myself really helped me. It’s going to be hard to find time when I have two children, but that’s my goal as well when this second one arrives.
Finding time for yourself for a hobby really can do so much for you mentally. You just have to remember that you’re just as important, and it’s okay to focus on you.
