💗 One for my Mamas💗
Today I was sorting through my clothes, filling a bag for charity, when I found these jeans… 👖
I bought them the Christmas after I had Bodhi 🤰🏼
I tried them on today.
WOW. 😳 They are HUGE.
And it got me thinking about how much can change in just a few years… but also how much we expect from ourselves as women and as m**s. ❤️
We see the perfect physiques online and think “I need to get back there.” We want the quick fix. We want to “bounce back.”
But why are we in such a rush? 🥺
Our bodies have grown an entire human being. Our organs, muscles, pelvic floor, abdominal wall, connective tissues and hormones all go through enormous changes during pregnancy and birth. Recovery isn't a few weeks or a few months for everyone, it can be a long, gradual process, and every woman’s journey is different. 🤍
We are incredible… yet somehow we expect ourselves to go through one of the biggest physical experiences of our lives and then carry on as though nothing happened.
Please be patient with yourself, mamas. 🫶🏼
Enjoy the cuddles. Enjoy the chaos. Enjoy the little years that go by far too quickly. 🥹
Think about the LONG game, not the short term fix.
We don't need to punish our bodies into changing. We don't need to chase unrealistic timelines.
We want longevity. ❤️
We want to be strong enough to run around with our children, get down on the floor with them, carry them, play with them, and watch them grow. We want to feel good, move well and be the strongest, healthiest version of ourselves, not just for a season, but for life. 💪🏼
And to every single strong mama who comes through my classes each week… I am constantly in awe of you. 🥹❤️
I see what you achieve. I see your strength. I see you showing up even when life is busy, exhausting and messy.
So this is your reminder, and mine too…
Be kind to your body. Trust the process. Don't rush what isn't ready. And never forget just how incredible you are.❤️
Lots of love.
