7 ways to overcome the SLUM!!

Ladies! We have such a rubbish time with hormones and I have had about a weeks worth of pregnancy slum, low motivation, mood swings and feeling extremely sensitive and all you want is to be left alone.

So I thought I would share with you 7 things which have helped me get out of my slum!

1. Doing Yoga really chills me out and makes me feel good because I feel as if I've been active and you also get a boost of endorphins! 
2. Seeing a friend when your down makes you feel a lot better because you can get your mind focused on something else entirely or chat about what's going on with you and sometimes that makes you feel a lot better and even clarify your feelings!
3. Having a treat, pamper yourself! Go to the hair dressers or nail salon and have a girly day with yourself or bring a family member or friend! My mum came with me to get my nails done which cheered me up because you just don't feel so alone! 
4. Buy something nice for yourself, you are growing a small person after all and your waredrobe probably does fit and you can't stay up all night out and about so the money you've saved there buy yourself something whether it's a new pair of shoes or handbag or that coat you've been eyeing up! Or even something for after you've had baba! 
5. Look at baby things -reminding yourself you are doing something awesome by looking nice things for your new arrival! Whether it's clothes or a playmat... 
6. Netflix and NO CHILL if I'm honest... unfortunately feeling down doesn't make you feel much else so if you think you just want to get into bed ALONE (sorry) and binge watch a TV show DO IT, don't even feel bad for it.
7. Early nights are also a bog standard way of making yourself feel better! So if it's really doom and gloom and the hormones are in full swing then yes go to bed and when you wake up it probably won't be that bad! 

I hope you liked these little ideas! 

Thanks
