The Baby Of A NEW YOU Is Emerging
Imagine the pain you’re going through right now signifies you’re pregnant with something new.
Now that you know you have a baby on the way, how can you nourish him/her? Certainly those who are pregnant must nourish themselves well. Journey along with me…
How are you eating?
How are you moving?
How are you resting?
How are you having fun?
I began thinking about this analogy a few months ago when an emotional pain took over my life. The only hope I could give myself was saying: “Alexa imagine this pain you’re going through is that you’re pregnant with something new. So - it is vital to support the baby’s development well.”
Here are some raw notes I took in asking myself how I was going to support the new me’s development. Supportive practices for both physical and emotional health:
How are you eating?
Nutrient dense meals.
I imagine my cells are happy and jumping with joy with the gift of nutrients + true nourishment.
Picturing your cells as your babies.
My cells are at peace & nourished.
Macro + micro nutrients in balance.
Eating in a way supportive to my overall vaginal and body healing.
How are you moving?
Sensually.
Courageously.
Mighty.
Fun.
Elegantly.
Ferociously.
Weights.
Running.
How are you resting?
Naps.
Silence.
In prayer with God.
With discipline to do so.
Evolving night time routines.
Conversation with my ancestors.
Supportive self practices (think reflexology)
How are you having fun?
Prioritizing the things that light me up
