Don’t you love those days when you know what to expect, and your plan comes to life just as you wanted? Those days feel great! We also know how it feels when you don’t know what to do next, and you are overwhelmed before you even begin! These feelings can happen for anyone, at anytime.

As doulas, we often hear from our clients how pregnancy feels overwhelming, as there are so many changes and variables. There are the unknowns about what is happening to your body, what will happen during labor, when it all will happen, just to name a few. When you can sit down and talk your unknowns and worries through with us, as your doulas, you can feel better prepared and calm about your upcoming birth.

Do you want to feel prepared in general as you navigate through the easy days as well as the hard ones? Pregnant or not, all of us can benefit from a different approach to planning our day, why not give it a try? Feeling on top of your schedule can make a positive change in your life!

Here’s what you can do different this week, and see how it works for YOU:

1. At the start of your day, or even the night before, pick three things you know you MUST get done, and write them down.

2. Plan time for these things into your schedule.

3. Do all of the things, or do your best to do what you can! We all know things happen, and priorities change often. It is ok to rearrange and change your priorities mid-day!

4. Make note of how you feel at the end of the day. What was memorable, what do you want to remember about this special day? Did you accomplish your goals, and how did that make you feel? What else do you plan for your week?

We’ve made it simple for you to try this technique out for yourself!
