It’s not an easy job to give birth, and go back on track immediately. Especially the hit the body takes with the form and stretch-marks it leaves behind. And we’re no strangers to all the women talking about the after-effects of pregnancy that takes over their body and mental well-being. 

When it comes to the influencer-front who better to help us connect the dots than Malvika Sitlani. For new mothers, or moms-to-be this can be a preparation based or a routine story that will help them navigate themselves better.

These are the 3 ways she copes with herself during those days:

1. Practicing Bodily Wellness:

Your mind emits emotions throughout your body – positive or negative. That’s why what you feel, you show. Daily affirmations and routines such as lathering up your body with all the necessary oils, detox baths and infusers help calm the mind. Yoga and a clean diet helps your body get back to its stronger self, with time.

2. Confiding In The Gym:

What better way to channel your baby blues through a good session. It’s obvious you won’t go picking weights or do intense cardio, but starting from your roots should help you get back. Malvika is a true believer that gym sessions are the ultimate destination for a happy mind and body.

3. Indulging In Feel-Good Books and Shows:

OTT platforms have a way of making us feel a certain way, haha. Books and series that revolve around love, and laughter can instantly lift your mood. Another way to support this would be to opt for a good chocolate ice-cream or some calming green teas that keep you relaxed and at peace.

4. Doing What You Truly Love:

For her, it’s makeup. We all know that by now. Find your release, or practice doing that, because in times like these, your art will make and keep you happy. Putting on a face in front of the camera, behind the brush, or screen adds to temporary happiness, which in time will power through and be a strong pillar for you.
