Many of life's norms dramatically change with the arrival of a new baby! Those lovely, long nights of sleep are no more and you'll now find yourself working almost non-stop throughout the day. All of this means that you will likely be feeling drained! The easy, short-term fix is to reach for a coffee to power you through the afternoon, but that's not always the best idea. If you can make a few small changes, you'll feel that you're losing less energy during the day and have more for yourself and your little one.
GET USED TO SAYING "NO"
A good place to start is to say no to some things that you would usually feel required to do. While it can be a great idea to socialise and stay involved in your own life, it can all be a bit of a strain on your energy, especially when you don't have much left in the tank. If you feel worried about that upcoming party, feel free to give it a miss and catch up on some well-deserved rest. With that being said, don't forget to enjoy yourself!
GENTLE EXERCISE
Research suggests that exercising regularly is one of the best methods of shaking off that worn-out feeling. Going for a brisk walk or working out may be the last thing you feel up for ahead of a day looking after your child but it has been shown that introducing regular exercise into your week will, in fact, provide you with that energy you feel you're lacking. If you want, invite some friends along and you'll be able to catch up on all the news while supercharging yourself!
