save your energy for what (and who) you really care about
Your new parent superpower: the art of conservation of energy.
Is this you?
“I’d like to take care of myself and have more energy, but I don’t have time for the exercise classes I used to go to or the little things that helped my body feel good.”
“Between the carrying, the feeding, bending over the crib, and carrying the car seat, I fell like a wreck. Is there something I can do to prevent pain before it happens?”
“I feel like I am always ‘on.’ On the rare times I get a break, I can’t even decide what to do - I can try to rest, but I don’t feel very refreshed.”
“My toddler is going through a lot of ‘big feelings’ and I’m exhausted. I’m realizing how tense I get when he starts to tantrum. How do I stay calm in the moment?”
