You are a mum now. You were so looking forward to this experience and it’s just not what you expected. You knew it would be hard, you knew you would be sleep deprived, you knew there would be children fighting, you knew things wouldn’t get done. Right? Yes you knew this, so why does it all get to be too much? Why does it feel so overwhelming so much of the time? Why do you feel like you aren’t doing a good job?
First of all I just want to say all of these are completely normal. They are normal human emotions. No parent feels great all the time. You don’t have to pretend – it’s OK to have a bad day, to sit and cry if you want to.
First of all I just want to say all of these are completely normal. They are normal human emotions. No parent feels great all the time. You don’t have to pretend – it’s OK to have a bad day, to sit and cry if you want to.
Having said that these emotions and feelings are normal, we do not want to be stuck in them, they do not need to rule us. Throughout my journey as a parent I have used flower essences to support not only myself but my children as well, through those perfectly normal but incredibly tough times.
Flower essences are safe, gentle remedies which effectively manage emotional ups and downs. I will make a blend of around 6 essences which suit you and you alone. Flower essences are usually taken orally. Flower essences are designed to help you understand and transform negative thoughts and feelings as opposed to suppress them. So, to sum up, I will make you your very own personalised rescue remedy (yes rescue remedy is a flower essence blend).
