The Aquamarine Mamaste (Resilience & Balance) resonates most with my mama journey.
Both in my pregnancy and postpartum, I was really caught off guard by two things: the constant wave of anxiety coursing through my body, and the loss of my sense of self and autonomy. Now that my baby girl Josephine is almost 2, I am finally starting to feel like myself again, remembering what makes me, me, and learning to manage my worry and angst - which was really keeping me from enjoying the moments with both of them.
I am trying every day (and tattooed it on my arm as a reminder) to be present, to pay attention, and to be grateful for these little moments of motherhood that are otherwise so fleeting and over in a blink.
My #MamaMantra: Be here now.
