The Truth About Lack Of Sleep You Need To Know Before You Have A Baby

By Amity Kramer |

What is it like to have a baby and not get any sleep? It is love and joy—right along side all of the hard work and lack of sleep.

How do you deal with the sleep deprivation? Focus your energy on both sides of parenting.

It’s important to feel your emotions fully.  All of them. So—practice taking in and savoring the joy.  And, it’s also just as important to feel your sadness and frustration.

If you only focus on one type of emotion—you will be cutting out important signals that are meant to guide you through life.

Emotional intelligence is so important during early parenting.

I love listening and being fully present.  I often discover a person has never actually been validated in any meaningful way. 

The Emotion Education 101 Workshop for parents is a game changer!  It will help you gain skills you have been missing.

The next series starts in March.

If you are struggling to soak it all in—this class can help.

Until then—notice your body and name your emotions. Just that simple practice can help you thrive.

Thanks for reading,

Amity
