🌸Ritu, i understand how you would be feeling stretched from every direction—dealing with multiple priorities at once—edutation (career), caring for the new baby, and managing family life.

🌳This is the reason it is MOST important right now for you—to 𝐬𝐞𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 and 𝐝𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 '𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤' (healing & empowering your-self). In the following, we are guiding you to the same (in points)👉

1. 𝗦𝗲𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀

When you are dealing with multiple things, people/relationships, and choices in life—it becomes very important to 'set priorities' and 'boundaries' so as to protect your time & energy and also making sure you can give your best to everyone & everything that matters.

𝐏𝐡𝐃 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐬 (𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧): Make some time for “writing” every day, even if it is just 30 focused minutes. Treat them like important 'appointments' to pursue your passion.

𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐁𝐚𝐛𝐲: Structure your daily routine as per your baby's napping (sleeping) hours. Make sure the baby is well-fed, given the care and time it needs from you, and from other members of family.

2. 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲

Talk with your husband and your in-laws about things that matters. Inform them of 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘥, 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘥, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴. This is important. Ask for help when needed—ask your huaband to help you deal with your in-laws when it goes beyond your hands... But keep things "simple" and "peaceful" in your home.

3. 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

Create a layer of 'divine protection' around you with 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐤𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐚, Yog (𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧) and 𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 practise. Focus on your inner world and HEAL every wound as it is created.

👉Do Not engage in debate or arguments... just 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 from the situation, go to your room, 𝐬𝐢𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝟓-𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬, and 𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 & 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 with everyone.

4. 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲

The key to enhance all your life (and relationships) is to 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫-𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟. When you know, respect, accept & love yourself, you open doors to all blessings life has to offer.

🌷𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟, you can truly (and unconditionally) love and care for others. Because then you wont need a 'return' of your love and care. You are simply 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 '𝐚𝐛𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞' that you have within. You will start "enjoying" to share your joy, your love... and in caring for others you will find highest contentment.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻?

So what does it mean to you in every day life?

𝘼𝙣𝙨𝙬𝙚𝙧: It means treating yourself like you would treat your beloved friend (caring for your needs, your hobbies, passion & purpose). Self-love and self-care is 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝, 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐞 & 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 when you are feeling down... and giving yourself enough "time" and "love" to heal and grow.

🍎Because when you empower yourself like this, you not only HEAL yourself, but also all your relationships... and you can do your part better (and enjoy it).
