The magic in stepping away 🌼✨
Wow the month of May was a rollercoaster 🎢
Stepping away from my business, my clients, my work and my passion has taken a big amount of strength. Of course, when I found out I am pregnant I knew that it would be difficult.
AND especially for me personally. So much of my identity and self worth is tied into my productivity, my work and business & entrepreneurship. I have worked on this for years in therapy and have come to the most secure place in myself in my life so far.
AND still, taking maternity leave and not working, building or creating for 6months is daunting to me.
At the start I felt lost, that urgency or resistance of “I am wasting time” how can I use this time. My body decided for me and for two weeks I was sick and had a cough that stayed for three weeks. This forced me into a resting state.
After recovering, I started wanting to do things. So I went on vacation with my best friend and then took last vacation with just my partner before baby will be there. This was so great. I felt myself relax and my mind shift.
All change is a process and it’s how we talk and treat ourselves during this process that matters. We cannot stop change but we can make it as comfortable as possible while it happens.
I am feeling connected, grounded and confident in cherishing these final stages of pregnancy.
Your reminder that change is hard and it is a process. Be kind to yourself. Don’t rush yourself. 💜
Sending you all hugs 🤗
