During motherhood it can feel as though our ability to see the funny side of things, to be charismatic, to be light hearted can seem lost or distant. Sometimes the weight of the neediness that is coming at you from your children, partner and extended family…your loved ones. Compounded by sleep deprivation and the roller coaster of babies changing needs. All of this can create a challenging and hard to face outlook from day to day. Striving for thriving bleeds into days when survival mood is the reality you face. On these days that sometimes string to weeks it can be difficult to be light hearted and see the silver lining. Or to see the potential glimmer of hope that the end to the current turmoil and cycle of events is going to at some point change for the better. It can literally seem as though our once charismatic Self has left. It may feel unreachable or un-attainable.. you may even not be able to recall how it feels within your body but you long for some other state that is not this present one to emerge.
Keep sight of hope and your ability to rekindle that charismatic self dear mumma. Even dare to consider seeking an evolved, redefined and more vital version of yourself.
“In the midst of darkness light persists” - Mahatma Gandhi
You will feel that spark within, the light of your heart, the fire of your belly and the tingle of your loins once more. Through the dark comes light.
Be kind with yourself, notice where you are right now in the tapestry of your motherhood journey. What are you feeling within the body and in the moment? Can you acknowledge that sleep deprivation is extremely difficult and affects how you function day to day. Maybe you can seek some help from those around you to chunk out a few day naps yourself or put the jobs list to the side and any time baby sleeps prioritise a rest or blissful meditation to revitalise and replenish yourself. The washing can wait, the cleaning can wait, the garden can wait…put yourself ahead of it all.
Can you say to yourself that it’s ok. Maybe baby is going through a change in their needs and that you’re not yet sure how to meet them where they need it right now…but with patience and time you will know. This newness or the unknown can be so hard to sit with…but that is exactly what helps to understand more, to sit and observe and to wait and see what comes up…it may bring an idea to mind of something you might try or someone that could support you and your little one move through these moments of challenge or change. Often times in the waiting and observing the solution is clear or resolves through this process itself. Of sitting, observing the answer may come up of what you need to do next.
Each of these moments is limited by time. You will arrive out the other side of this difficult time. This is the one thing that is truly known…nothing stays the same, everything is constantly changing and evolving.
“The only constant in life is change” - Heraclitus
Something that can support you through adversity and the diminished sense of positivity that you are currently experiencing… can be to notice each time that you do see the silver lining or feel a spark of joy arise from within the darker moments. Ponder the happiness, turn it over in your mind, feel the affects of the light and the joy within your body. Then when you are in the difficult darker moments you can bring the memory and the sensations that come up within the body, of the light that exists… knowing that it is there for you and is on the other side of what you are working through.
You’ve got this mumma. You will rekindle your charismatic self. You will get there. The light is always there. The spark arises from within your beautiful heart and soul. I wish you well. I wish you joy. I wish you peace. Love and light from my heart to your heart.
