When you become a mom, you find that you quickly fall into a routine. At times that routine can become tiring, and you can find that it drains you of your energy. When you become a mom you will probably feel at times that you have lost your identity and unique sense of self. The time and effort you used to put into your own appearance and well-being is now poured into the little people you are nurturing. Regaining your spark with a mommy makeover is a must. However, what does a mommy makeover look like, and how can you start?
Start From Within
Your ideal starting point is going to be from within. There may be things that you want to change or improve on the exterior, but first you must work on inner harmony and peace. Work on feeling good about yourself, who you are, and what you have to offer. Think about all of the positive attributes you have to offer, and think about what makes you unique and special to those who know you the best. As a mom, your self-worth and value can sometimes be overlooked – especially by you! So, start from within, look at who you are and what you have to offer, then you can start looking at what changes you want to make externally.
Having Surgery to Enhance
Looking after others and forgetting to look after yourself can have a huge impact on how you look and your overall appearance. As a mom, your body can feel extra strain and extra pressure. For example, if you have breastfed your baby, you can notice that your chest doesn’t look as it did before. The exterior layer of you as a mom is just as important as those inner layers. To enhance what you already have, you may wish to reach out to mommy makeover surgeons or plastic surgery clinics where you can have the treatments you want and deserve. When you are looking at surgery, it is important to decide what treatments you want to have and when. This way, you can start planning out and working out the financing.
Embrace New Hobbies and Interests
When are you getting a chance to do something for yourself? When are you having that all-important me-time (or valuable alone time)? New hobbies and interests can spark your imagination and then help you feel good too. New hobbies and interests outside of the home can help you regain your sense of identity. Your identity is important and valuable when you are undergoing a mommy makeover. When you are choosing which hobbies and interests to take up, you need to think about how much time you must dedicate each week (or every other week). Your time is still going to be stretched as a mom, so make sure you factor this in when you are looking for a new hobby or interest. Don’t choose something that requires a daily commitment, as it is unlikely that you will be able to fulfill this commitment. Think about how much time you have spare, and then try and find a hobby or interest to fill this time slot.
Have a Closet Purge
The clothes, shoes, and accessories that you wear highlight who you are and what your style is. It is far too easy to put on sweatpants and other elasticated clothes when you become a mom. However, how do these clothes make you feel and look? Do they make you look and feel fantastic? If clothes and accessories do not make you feel good, then it is time for a closet purge. Rid your closet and wardrobes of those items that don’t make you feel your best.
