Self-Compassion Vs. Making Excuses in Pregnancy and Postpartum
When it comes to staying active and healthy in pregnancy and postpartum, there are many variables that can get in the way of our perfectly laid plans and goals.
I find that instead of having self-compassion for these major life changes we often wind up feeling guilty or ashamed when life happens or we aren’t able to exercise and eat as healthy as we may want in certain seasons.
What you’ll find in this episode is that this negative self talk is actually holding you back from the healthy habits you could be establishing.
We’ll dive into the difference between self-compassion and making excuses so you can make an important perspective shift that will bring more healthy behaviors into your life in pregnancy and postpartum!
In This Episode you’ll learn:
The difference between self-compassion and making excuses
Why self-compassion isn’t weak and you don’t have to “push through” your struggle
