Returning After a Break
You haven’t seen any new posts in a while, as I’ve been dealing with the symptoms of the first trimester of pregnancy. It’s a great opportunity for evaluating what is really important in your life when your body wants lots of sleep and your stomach can’t handle a lot of food.
Most of us overschedule ourselves, or at least try to. It may be that you find you’re always going from one scheduled activity to another, or that you just don’t have time to “be” because little things keep coming up. Either way, you feel too obligated, too pressured to slow down. But are you really? Do you actually need to be doing all of those things? Is it really your own need that has you doing all that, or is it something else, something external?
It’s not that there is any one right answer, but something we have to figure out for ourselves.
Pregnancy is one of those times that really forces you to re-evaluate these things, as your body, your baby, needs more from you than you might have had time to give, previously. If only we can remember those things we learned once the kid is older!
