HOW BEING EARLY BIRD HELPS A MOTHER

To be honest, waking up early is not a cakewalk for most of us.  But it is scientifically proven that early birds have more benefits than night owls apart from getting worms. Earlier when I was in college and before marriage, I was not an early riser, I hated waking up early. But after my kid was born, I started liking waking up early(I wake up at 4.00 AM by the way). And also it helped me a lot in different ways.

• Productive:

Mothers need to do thousands and thousands of daily chores. Mothers, who are early risers can know the difference when they wake up 30 min late. By rising early, all the things fall into place.

• Me-time:

Moms job is not a 9-5 job, it is like the moment you open eyes to you close your eyes. You can get some me time if you wake up before your kids. Only Mother's know how it feels like to have their morning coffee without any interruptions. Every mom needs a break, a me-time. It is better to have some me-time every day, rather than waiting for a weekend.

• Finish all the work:

When you rise early, you can complete your daily chores. I know if it takes 10min to clean house without kids, it takes 30 min when kids are awake. If you use your time wisely, mornings are the best. I finish preparing lunch and breakfast before my daughter wakes up. She hates me being in the kitchen. Rest of the chores I can manage it after she wakes up.

• Few distractions:

The most peaceful time you find. Set your priorities at this time. If you would like to read a book, or listen to your favourite music, or watch a video you can clearly enjoy without any distractions. It is completely your time without any waitings or ant distractions.

• Early birds are happier:

If you get up early and get some sunshine, you can get more of vitamin D, which is the most needed vitamin for mothers. Which implies better mood, happy life!!
If you can finish cooking, no question of outside food, so you will become healthier too.

If you are happy with your time zone, stick to that. Mornings are not everyone's cup of tea. But if you want to improve your lifestyle and be happier, you can definitely consider rising mornings, it makes a huge difference.
Happy motherhood!!

A SIMPLE GUIDE TO STAY HEALTHY

Health is a very volatile process that depends on how we live, eat, sleep and even on how we think. Just that we got this machine at no cost, we shouldn’t stop appreciating the wear and tear it goes through because of our routine.
 Being in good health is about taking care of all these aspects which include having healthy food to take care of your body, adequate personal hygiene to maintain the sense organs, stress-free lifestyle.
Some tips of good eating habits that one should follow are:
1. Have enough sleep and stay hydrated.
2. Fasting once a month, as mentioned in Ayurveda, can do no harm but don’t starve in the name of dieting nor develop a sweet tooth which cannot be controlled.
3. Avoid junk food. It affects your health in the long run.
4. Include any form of exercise into your lifestyle to ensure the body stays in shape and healthy.

5. Yoga lays great emphasis on both mental and physical wellbeing and also is an effective method for improving health by reducing stress, anxiety, depression, etc

6. Eat a balanced nutritional diet. Having fruits and vegetables help to maintain adequate levels of calorie, reduce the risk of disease; maintain the balance of essential minerals and vitamins.

 Our body is like a well-oiled machine which can go through wear and tear. It is up to us to maintain it like how we do for that lovely car we dreamt for whole life to own and made it as a reality. Is our body less expensive than those machines that we buy to ignore? Finally, “Respect your body. It’s the only one you get.”

Decision

Her decision shook their family. Her in laws,husband even her parents were shocked to hear this from her.

Sandhya's gaze fixed at her right hand thumb and index finger and rest of all other eyes fixed at her.

"Speak out Sandhya!! Why do you want an abortion?" Said one of the voice.

"This is inhuman. Whats wrong with you?", cried husband.

Because sandhya wanted an abortion of her 3months pregnency and she is a mother of 3 year old baby.

"Your son needs a brother or sister.", Mother in law said pleasingly.

"Look dear, you have a beautiful family, let the family photo be completed", mother said sitting beside her.

"I want abortion. I cant bear this child",sandhya spoke for the second time.

"Dont be so stubborn!! Tell me the reason", husband voice becoming louder.

"Once I saw this pregnency, delivery, taking care of baby, ufff!!! I'm exhausted! I can't bear this again." said sandhya, trying to be calm.

" Are you a mother? How can you talk like that?", Her mother in law disgustingly.

"Yes! I'm not a mother. I'm a devil. Do you think I hate my children, or a life  breathing in my body? No", her voice became more clear, and louder,"I faced depression in these years, no one ever helped me,even you!!" Pointing at her husband.
"Initially I was happy be coming a mother. But gradually I lost myself",her eyes were talking more louder than her lips.

"I faced post patrum depression. You say it's normal for every new mother, you think moms will be habituated?? It's hell to them. No proper sleep, food, even we for no time for bathroom."

"Severe blood loss, rapid weight gain made me physically weak.Just because I love my baby I sacrificed all these. But I am not habituated.", she paused for a moment.

"Taking care of toddler is not an easy process. No one can help me. No one can do what I do. During this time I lost myself. I didn't wear a minimum sensible dress in these years, because of the fear of getting spoiled by pee or poop or milk or baby food. You guys saw baby's cuddles and kisses, but I also saw baby's traumas, irritations.

I comb my hair for every 2 days. Baby's sleep timings didn't match with mine so I got dark circles around my eyes. I couldn't reduce my weight. I used to have 3-4 breaks during lunch/dinner. Sometimes I didnt want to eat after cleaning a diaper. I didn't go outside for many months not even a movie or dinner. When ever I go, my hand bag is replaced with diaper bag, baby food, milk bottles."

"I am not happy with killing a life. But I did vote for me this time. Yes I'm selfish!! Couldn't fulfill all your dreams.I want some peace now.

"Handling the tantrums thrown by toddler, is like walking on eggshells. I lost my me-time. I don't have any recreation other than spending time with child. Only time I has is 10 minutes in restroom."

It doesn't mean I don't love my child. I handled it patiently once. I don't want it again. My body cannot resist all this stress again. I love my kid, but I can't love motherhood again"

Leaving others speech less,Sandhya left the room.
She made a decision!!

Mother's day???

In view of mother's day, my WhatsApp Instagram accounts flooded with mother's day wishes and pictures how they love their Mom.
I never understand why we celebrate mother's day?!! Just one day in an year?? Forget and judge her remaining 364 days?
Why??
Every mom is judged for breastfeeding in public.
Not all husbands can handle post patrum depression.
All family members, prompAts how to be a good mom!!
Every head in between two ears, nod for the idea, to drop your career, just because you are a mother!!
School teachers or other mothers point out flaws in you and suggests how to rear kids.
Even own children will ask sometimes, "what did you do as a mother to me?"

Every person, whether it's a male or female, judge mothers.
Without mothers we are nothing. A
Our luxeries are the sacrifices they made.
Our illness becomes reason for mother's pain.
Our depression becomes reason for mother's agony.
Our hunger is mom's hunger.
Whom ever comes as obstacle in our path, moms will come to rescue (even if it is Dad, mom doesn't care)

All the sisters, daughters, wives, mothers are futures and present mothers. Let us shower our love everyday on them, not only on a single day.
