    I had no idea that I was going to feel soooooo exhausted when I brought my first born home.  Sure, I guessed I'd be a little tired but I was in no way ready for that mind numbing fatigue that most new parents feel.

     Since having my second baby, I have learned the fine art of relaxing and taking time out for myself.  Despite being a parent, you have to remember that you are YOU FIRST!  I cannot stress enough how important it is to look after yourself.  Asking your partner, mother, friend or babysitter to look after your baby for an hour or so while you have some time out is not in the lest selfish ... it is ESSENTIAL!  If anyone tries to make you feel quilty, I suggest you ignore them!

     Once a week, try to get a couple of hours for yourself and of course, offer your partner the same amount of time out.

     Great "time outs" are

• Reading a shamelessly romantic novel.
   

• Giving yourself a manicure or pedicure (how can you not feel sexy with french polished toes?)
   

• Breakfast in a cafe.
   

• Go to a comedy movie by yourself, laugh out loud and enjoy your own company!
   

• Sit quietly and meditate, using creative visualisation.

     Meditation is one of the best forms of relaxation you can do.

     For a limited time only, if you purchase our e-book "Sleeping Baby Happy Baby" you will also receive a bonus Meditation Guide e-book.  You will not only help your baby to sleep through the night but you will help yourself.

     So be YOU first and foremost and then you can continue being the best parent you can be!

     Congratulate yourself knowing that you are doing well.

     To you!

      With many thanks, and if I can help you in any way
    please let me know.
