Yesterday I wrote about the struggles I am having navigating the postpartum emotions. It is always my preference to recognize a problem and create a support plan. In this case I'm using the four "S"s. First and foremost is my amazing Support System of family and friends. Second is Snuggles with my sweetie because her cute face makes everything feel better. Third is SLEEP. This one is a little harder as it comes on my little one's schedule not mine but we did better with it last night. And last but not least, Spinach.
I'm a strong believer that diet goes a long way to supporting us in more ways that just satisfying hunger. Spinach is a natural hormone balancer (those of you with preteen/teen daughters, take note). It has great nutritional value being a dark green leafy veggie as well.
Knowing this information, my sweet girl and I took a trip to the grocery store yesterday to get some spinach. At the advice of a friend, these outings are also helping to boost my confidence as a mom. And Lydia has been a superstar in that area, sleeping through my whole grocery list and contently listening to music once we made it back to the car.
I'm so grateful for a plan of action. I'm grateful for all the supports I have in my life. I'm grateful for spinach, especially in my eggs. I'm grateful for snuggles and to have gotten a little more sleep last night. I'm grateful for renewed hope and laughter as it comes. I'm grateful for all the amazing people that reached out yesterday. I'm grateful to know it will be ok and after that it will be great again. And most of all I'm grateful for this beautiful miracle child and the blessings she has brought to my life.
What is your action plan? Do you have a four "S"s or three "R"s?
May today support us in our actions to grow. May we prevail in our plans and seem the progress as it comes. Have a beautiful day!
