Talk about the mood after maternity leave

Instead of waiting for life to force us to change, why not actively adapt and make positive progress? Take advantage of maternity leave, adjust our mentality and make progress in time, so that these short months will become a shift-speeding period in our lives.

On April 20 17, our colleague Xiao Zhao took maternity leave, and we said goodbye to her, joking that she came back from maternity leave just in time for the year-end examination, and she would never miss it in the busiest time of the year.

However, Xiao Zhao finally missed the year-end inspection of our unit.

Don't get me wrong, she just used maternity leave to get a teacher qualification certificate, and by the way, she was admitted to a key school teacher and engaged in her favorite teaching and educating career.

For many women, maternity leave is an important watershed in life. In this period of as little as three months and as much as six months, it is necessary to gradually adapt to the sudden addition of a person who is connected with his own blood and bound for life, and the angle of thinking and doing things will also change.

In the family, through the mirror of giving birth to children, we can show the true faces of in-laws and husbands, let us reposition the family and be more aware of our responsibilities after becoming mothers.

At work, from graduation to now, you have been trying to survive. Do you really love your job, whether your development prospects are more suitable for you, whether you want to continue working or temporarily be a full-time mother for your children ... For things that have been forced to make a living and have no time and energy to think, you can use this time to reconsider your planning.

Maternity leave is probably the longest holiday we can get after work. Make full use of this time, examine our position, adjust ourselves, and make maternity leave a rare upward period in our lives.

We have seen some women, after giving birth, imprisoned in the small circle of family children and never jumped out again. They are busy scheming with their in-laws, angry with their husbands, and cold war. They put their whole body and mind on their children, giving up their own progress, narrowing their horizons and making life more and more difficult.

There are also some women who are bent on seeking stability and security at work. They have been repeating simple and monotonous work for decades. They don't like it and have no motivation. They also feel that such a life and work are meaningless, but they dare not change casually with their children.

In fact, many things don't have to wait until they happen. Take advantage of maternity leave, improve yourself, plan the future road, work hard in the future, jump out of the shackles of daily necessities, stop worrying about trivial things, and live a brand-new self with children like new ones.

Just like an article in a circle of friends some time ago that a foreign treasure mother took her baby to exercise, she also gave birth to a baby. Unlike many treasure moms who are pale, out of shape and covered in fat, this treasure mom is radiant and has a great figure. When doing housework, she exercises, even when cooking. The same stay-at-home mother, she lives another life.

Whether it is trivial family life or heavy work, when we are exhausted and upset, we need a short rest to think about it to help us sort out the future road.

Maternity leave is such a period. It won't make you divorced from real life, but it can let you have a short rest and see clearly what you want and how to achieve your desired goal, instead of blindly advancing and working mechanically.

Xiao Nan, a friend I know, has always loved baking and read a lot of books on baking, but she is busy with work on weekdays and has no time to concentrate.

Maternity leave, just after finishing the month, she took the baby and used her free time to bake things. After the maternity leave, she gave all kinds of cakes to her colleagues, which won unanimous praise and envy from her colleagues.

Since then, she has acquired a new skill. The monotonous and heavy life with children has become rich and colorful because she can do what she likes.

Another colleague bought a large box of books that he had always wanted to read but didn't have time to read before maternity leave. On maternity leave, during the meal break, she turned a few pages and the child fell asleep. She took the time to look into her eyes. When coaxing children to play, she will read books with them and read beautiful sentences to them. Even if the child cries and has no time to read, she will listen to the audio. After the maternity leave, I read a box full of books and slowly cultivated the fun of reading for parents and children.

Indeed, there will be some women who are not too dissatisfied with their present situation and do not need to make much changes. In addition to accompanying children wholeheartedly, maternity leave will also take time to cultivate and develop children's hobbies, improve their quality of life and constantly enrich themselves.

There are also other women who read parenting books and learn parenting knowledge during maternity leave. Through theoretical study, become a parenting expert and grow up with children.

Taking advantage of maternity leave, there is no heavy pressure of survival, no need to attend numerous seminars and no need to deal with professional topics. Just take a little time between taking care of the children, integrate effectively, do what you want to do, and at the same time improve yourself and grow up with the children. Isn't this a pleasure?

Of course, not all women are so lucky to use maternity leave to improve themselves or cultivate their interests. There are also some women who, after giving birth, leave the old man alone, their husbands are busy, and some of them suffer from severe postpartum depression, and their previous state cannot be adjusted. How can they expect to improve?

However, we must understand one thing, that is, although maternity leave is a holiday, people take a short break to have children, but in fact, it is a transitional period and a preview of a new life.

It won't be like our previous holidays. This kind of life will not come again after the break. The maternity leave is over, the children are still there, and the original busyness and troubles are also there. After returning to the original job, a bad life will only be worse than this.

Then, taking advantage of maternity leave, adapting to the life with children as soon as possible, trying to adjust your mentality, planning the relationship between life and work, and actively treating postpartum depression, so that life after maternity leave will not be worse than now, isn't it also an improvement?

Many times, we are afraid of change and used to staying in the established life circle, which is safe, comfortable and carefree. But the birth of a child has brought unprecedented changes to this unchanging life, forcing us to step out of our comfort zone and start over in the face of unknown people and things.

Maternity leave is such a link between the past and the future, ending our past life and opening a new chapter in our life. Whether we like it or not, we must break the old life, adapt to the new life and open up a new life.

So instead of waiting for life to force us to change, why not take the initiative to adapt and make positive progress? Take advantage of maternity leave, adjust our mentality and make progress in time, so that these short months will become a shift-speeding period in our lives.

After all, being a mother is strong. No woman will escape from life wholeheartedly after giving birth. Why not take the initiative to adapt and change what she has been facing? Whether we overcome difficulties or get promoted, our life will usher in new glory and gain new gains!
