Just Keep calm and Carry on!!

Yes this is the only mantra that I like to keep in my mind whenever adversity attacks me😂
The world we are in so funny. They expect us to get married then have kids but no one ever dares to speak about the challenges and responsibilities it brings along with it.

Marriage is still manageable coz we are dealing with adults but Babies bring a different perspective, a different challenge for which each person has to carve there own solutions. Yes !! Not necessary that your solutions will work for me or vice versa😂😂
Before I used to panic a lot. But eith time I have realised that panicking is the worst solution of all and however difficult it may seem only keeping calm and dealing with a patient mind helps to resolve and maintain the balance.
Some of the things which I have adopted or basically changed to strike a balance are:
✅ Try to wake up at least 40mins before my baby wakes up. This helps in completing a lot of tasks which otherwise used to stay shelved until the muhurat used to come😂
✅ Plan in advance and always have plan B/C/D ready. Yes! You never know your otherwise happy baby may turn cranky just on the day you want that happy mood to last. So the plans.

✅ Always take out time for yourself be it at after baby sleeps in the afternoon or at night. You need this Mumma in order to maintain your mental sanity. We all love our babies but we can't keep doing that with full honesty if we keep thinking about the old good days.

✅ Last but not the least Please ensure you have your WE time as well. It can be a movie date or a lunch date or just having coffee at the terrace with your other half. Its important to maintain that connect btwn the two and also to let the husband know that nothing can ever take his place and he is special too🤩
So yes! This is how it works for me. There may be lot other things but I feel this is the most important of all the things I do to maintain the balance between my personal life and baby.

The we time point is so much needed for me. My husband always complain about the lack of we time. After baby suddenly I just became a full time mama. Have to work on it.
