Motherhood brings joy, but it can also be mentally and physically draining. Taking care of your mental health is just as important as tending to your physical well-being. Here’s how to keep a healthy balance with self-care, mindfulness, and natural supplements.

1. Mindful Meditation for Stress Relief: Taking a few minutes each day for meditation can help alleviate stress and improve mental clarity. Guided meditation apps or even a few deep breaths can make a world of difference. Don't put too much pressure on yourself and start small.
2. Supplement with Omega-3: Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to support brain function and improve mood, particularly postpartum when your body may be depleted of essential nutrients. This alongside of a good multi-vitamin regime can really help with your overall balance.
3. Prioritize Sleep Hygiene: Sleep can be elusive as a mom, but creating a sleep-friendly environment can improve your overall wellness. Invest in calming scents, comfortable bedding, and even sleep-promoting teas. If you have a supportive partner talk to them about taking night shifts, or hiring a night nurse if in the early stages of postpartum to help make sure you're all getting the needed rest.
4. Incorporate Movement: Staying active can greatly improve your mental health and mood. Whether it’s a short walk or a full workout, movement releases endorphins, helping you feel more energized. Get moving alone or bring your little one with you.
