August 2021 : Maternity leave
Alhamdulillah,
Everything
happened according to Allah's plan
Some things were
unpredictable but worth to be grateful for
Entering
motherhood was not an easy road
Some days were
okay, some days were difficult
The tiredness and
anxiousness might taking away my sanity
Planning to take
MRCP after the maternity leave might seems impossible but actually
do-able
So these are the
ways to keep my sanity throughout this never-ending journey
1. Get an adequate sleep
- Not too long,
not too short,
Just sufficient
enough to revive my energy
2. Allocate a “me-time”
- Anytime of the day, preferable fixed at an appointed time
3. Don’t procrastinate
- When you feel like doing it at the very moment, just do it
(especially washing dishes :P)
4. Crying is not a crime
- You may cry your lungs out, and when you are done, resume you
responsibility
5. Ask for help
- You might want to act all tough, but trust me, don’t get stuck
on your own
6. Be responsible
- This child is a responsibility you swear to take care of
7. Do one thing at a time
- There are so many things to be done, just do something that
messed up your mind the most
- Do a list of priority
8. Study one topic a day
- One is better than none
9. Give reward to yourself accordingly
10. Avoid getting carried away with petty things
- Talk to your partner about things you dislike although sometimes
it will lead to unfavourable circumstances
- Don’t go to sleep with anger
- Forgive is way easy than fighting (lesser time consumed as well)
11. Eat healthily
12. Most important of all - Always pray to Allah to ease your
journey
Till next time.
