The Difference Between Self Care and Self Preservation

On March 8th, we celebrated International Women’s Day and remembered that when women come together to support one another, incredible things happen.

On March 15th, Ella Bella Maternity Shop invites women to come together once again in a safe and supportive environment to discuss the importance of self-care and self-preservation in recognition for the incredible things that mothers make happen each and every day.

Life with children is both chaotic and beautiful at the same time. As a mother, you have become the master of juggling multiple things all at once. But when it comes to motherhood and the daunting idea of self-care, it may seem near impossible to balance the two. It becomes first nature to always put your child’s needs above yours and your family’s needs first. This may happen for so long that you lose yourself through the heap of sacrifices you bear on behalf of your family every day.

Self-care is something necessary that we do to prevent ourselves from breaking. It can be taking alone time to read or exercise, spending time with friends or any other daily practice to hold yourself together.

But what do we do when we are already unraveled, broken and cracked?

We must fill our immediate cracks before we can return to wholeness. It is the first law of nature.

Through our work with many postpartum families, or families who are in “survival mode," we have heard time and time again that self-care practices can feel indulgent. Self-preservation closes the gap before you can practice self-care. It is used as an immediate and deeper response to return to psychological and physical wholeness. Self-preservation is used in times when self-care in your life has gone off the rail due to the birth of baby, illness, change in job or any other stressful life event.

Our Prima Doula event is meant to help you to take proactive approaches toward self-care and self-preservation. Mothers can also learn the role a postpartum doula can play in self-preservation practice and share other mental health support initiatives.

    With so much in my heart I am here to express myself on how Priest Salami saved my marriage from divorce. Myself and my husband were having some misunderstanding and it was tearing our marriage apart to the extent my husband was seeking a divorce. So I have no option other than to go to the internet to seek a solution to my problem. It was there I came across Priest Salami details and about how he has helped a lot of people by restoring their relationship. I contacted Priest Salami and in less than 48 hours my husband cancelled the divorce papers. Now myself and my husband live together in peace and harmony all thanks to Priest Salami for saving my marriage from breaking up.

    My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough.
