Don’t forget about you...
By focusing on yourself and the activities that help you feel nurtured, you can create more opportunities to be energized and positive while you care for your baby. This phenomenon is the premise behind the ‘Pleasant Activities’ module of the Mothers and Babies curriculum. A pleasant activity is any enjoyable practice that helps you manage your mood. Pleasant activities do not have to cost money, can be done alone or with others, and can take as much or as little time as you have available. Doing one pleasant activity sets off a chain of events that makes it more likely for you to do more pleasant activities and elevates your mood.
