There is good reason why this time of year gets called the ๐จ๐๐ก๐ก๐ฎ season. There is a lot to do before the year ends, there are goodbyes and transitions, there is an increase in financial pressures, there is social gatherings which are not always wanted and the list goes on.The business of life increases significantly and there can be less time to care for our own needs.
Even though this time of year is suppose to be about ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฒ and ๐ท๐ผ๐, ๐ณ๐ฎ๐บ๐ถ๐น๐ and ๐น๐ผ๐๐ฒ, ๐ด๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด and ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ด it can also be full of ๐ด๐ต๐ณ๐ฆ๐ด๐ด, ๐ซ๐ถ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต, ๐จ๐ณ๐ช๐ฆ๐ง and ๐ฆ๐น๐ฉ๐ข๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ.

-Thinking of gifts, having to buy them & tackle the shops, wrapping them and making sure they are delivered to those they are brought for
-Scheduling and coordinating the social gatherings, managing the needs of the baby/kids & navigating unwanted advice/feedback
-Mothers often take the most time off work or have the stress of arranging care for children when childcare/kinder/school is closed
-Feeling stressed and tired while also having to host, which includes cooking & cleaning for family
-Feeling pressured, unable to maintain your wishes or boundaries & left feeling unable to enjoy the festive season
Now of course it’s not ๐๐ก๐ฌ๐๐ฎ๐จ all of these things for all mothers. But this just highlights that the holidays are not always relaxing and fun!
It’s so important that mamas get the chance to enjoy this time of year as well!
But it does usually mean putting ๐ฏ๐ผ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ in place and getting some ๐๐๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฟ๐.
