Yes, to all these. That’s a great way to be able to recharge ourselves. Setting boundaries is a healthy approach. Thanks, Julie.

I find that for me it’s a matter of re-prioritizing my needs over others. We gave a lot of ourselves without recharging. I’ve been trying to set some boundaries to make sure I have time to do the things I enjoy too, without being interrupted every two minutes!

Thank you for sharing your journey, Kari. It’s such a relief to finally come face to face with the renewed you. A hobby is something to look forward to as Me-Time and can be the one thing that grabs you back to being YOU.

I was “lost” in motherhood for the first 2 years, I had lost sight of “me”, as I felt I was only “mom”. I started to come out ot it by slowing getting back into knitting. It was an easy task to pick up and easy to let sit for a while when I needed to do other things. It’s so relaxing to me, so absolutely new moms should try and pick up an old hobby!

Before anything else, Congratulations on your pregnancy! A new phase in your life will soon unfold, and it’s normal to feel concerned about your identity. Enjoy the newness of motherhood while staying true to yourself. Thank you, Brittany.

I’m going into motherhood for the first time and “losing myself” has been a concern. Thank you for the good suggestions!
