Hope to cope with loneliness
After a wonderful time as a couple, leaving the baby with hid grandparents, to suddenly be all alone, needs adjustment!
Such a tough day, making one very sensitive, vulnerable, and thin skinned.
On such a day, it’s important to be extra kind and generous to ourselves.
Here comes a list of recommendations:
Go to a cafe by yourself.
Stroll around without clear agenda.
Relax at a place you’d usually would go to.
Take a nice yoga class.
Enjoy nature.
Ring a friend.

Quality of life
How do we define life quality in its core?
Living in today’s societies, constantly being on is difficult. We run around 24/7 in our mind and physically always being on the go, planning the next activity, task etc.
Being and living in the moment isn’t even existing anymore. That’s very sad and concerning, with regards to our mental and physical health. It takes a lot of effort to get into a state of calm and relaxation, when the mind is constantly on overdrive.
Tips to unwind:
Schedule some time in nature, a relaxing class.
Go offline, everyday for an extended time.
Observe yourself and your interpretation of relaxation.
Set a 5min with no plan.

Me time at the beach
Happy wife happy life, happy mommy happy family! In order to give, we need to be able to breathe ourselves. Make sure you spend some time alone. May it be a walk along the beach, a yoga class, reading a book uninterruptedly, getting a massage or good night sleep. We can only share our energy if there’s any left.
