When we are emotionally overwhelmed, we are out of balance. Notice how your body feels. Do your thoughts race? Are your neck and shoulders holding tension? Maybe you feel light-headed or unfocused. These feelings aren’t a permanent state. To regain balance, we need to take deep breaths. Come back to center with this meditation by concentrating on some deep breathing.

Sometimes we feel like we should be able to do it all. It can be hard to ask for help, even—and sometimes especially—when we need it most. This meditation will help you feel your way through the process of finding help. You, your baby, and your family are more supported than you realize.

Motherhood can feel overwhelming. You may feel uncertain about who you are, now that you are responsible for this tiny creature. It may feel hard to find time to process it all, but remember that you are a human being. Take a few moments with this meditation to sit and allow yourself to feel whatever you feel. Be. Breathe. Realize that there is an amazing transformation happening right now.
