I couldn’t feel happy however hard I tried after the birth of my first child . I still reflect on these moments and it only drives me harder to reach out to anyone not feeling good about themselves  You are not alone . And being there for each other in tough times is so important. What can we do to help ourselves & others ? - Take care of yourself & be aware of your emotional Health. - Listen without judgement - Share your story - Create a community that supports a safe space for healthy conversations- Try Getting 8 hours of sleep per night. - Less screen time - Spend quiet time to reflect on what’s bothering you .- being mindful of what you eat - Exercising for 30-minutes.- Journal your thoughts .- Saying no to something you don’t want to do. - Decluttering your space - Learning a new skill - reach out to a friend , family or seek professional. Try holistic approach with natural therapy ( I believe homeopathy really helped me )”
