Self Care: The Dark Side - by Shelly Prosko

Written by: Dianne Edmonds Posted on 13 May 2018 0

Self care is something I've written about a few years back, learning to add different aspects more deliberately into my day, through the work of Dr Sara Gottfried and also Lisa Grace Byrne from Well Grounded Life. One of the posts was called "Start with one small thing for your self care", with explanations from Lisa saying: This is like putting in one fence post and getting that one fence post ...

Dianne Edmonds 3/06/2013 5:24:30 PM Thanks Lori for your comments. It would be great for postnatal mums to learn this now and not take 9 1/2 years like I did to find out about this information. I was listening to Dr Sara last night and was reminded that we can help join in with her audacious goal to balance the hormones of 1 million women in 2013 - starting here with our postnatal mums!

Thanks again Lori!

I am a physio in here in Brisbane and deal mostly now with Women's Health-related patients. I heard about Dr Gottfried's book a short while ago and it's on my to-read list! I love the tiara idea! I think it's so important for any postnatal mom, whether new or 9 1/2 yrs later, to take time out for themselves. We don't do it enough. Even to eat - I tend to catch myself eating standing up or on the run :)

Thank you so much for your blogs, I really enjoy them and I advise my patients to read them as well.

The greatest stress is balancing being a mum and earning an income. There are some great options available to avoid going back to the stress of work and bringing home the stress to your family. I have started a fantastic work from home based business which is just perfect for having both flexibility and income flow. If you are interested in transforming you work and motherhood have a look at www.improvesuccess.com.au for some options. Wishing yo all the best in your transformation!

Anyway just be patient and don't waste as much money as i did on tests if it's meant to be it will beReferences :
