Losing Sight of Who I Am
Losing Sight of Who I Am
As mums we are so busy that we forget to ‘take care of ourselves’ and we lose ourselves in our daily hustles. We forget who we are and maybe sometimes even become that mumzilla we thought we would never be. It’s important not lose sight of who we are and that being a mum shouldn't mean we ‘let go’ or forget to be ourselves. Being a mum should just add to who we were and who we want to be.
After having my first child, I never knew I would completely be a wreck. I always imagined I'd be those cool mums that went shopping with their kid, got their hair and nails did. But unfortunately I became someone else... When I’m not looking after my baby, I’m either cooking, cleaning or trying to squeeze in Instagram time, then the next thing you know is… she’s awake and it’s all about her again. I’m in my PJ’s 99% of the time and my hairs the ‘I woke up like this’ crazy hairstyle look that some people look amazing in (I’m not one of them unfortunately). The days I’m actually bothered to fix my hair or change my clothes are the days I actually have to be seen in public, but even then it’s still half the effort of what I would've given if I didn’t have a baby.
It would be nice if I could steal at least ONE day from every month that is just for ME! I don't think that's to much to ask for. A day where I look after myself and tune back into who I am. Because at the end of the day, if I’ve lost sight of who I am and the love I have for myself, then how can I love another. Just like having a day nap, or drinking your early morning coffee, I need a refresh button, a cleanse, something to make be feel beautiful and looked after and myself again...
