Daylight Saving is just around the corner, and you know that that means – we get an extra hour! Instead of just hitting the snooze button on the day, why not use this “fall back” hour in a way that makes a real difference? Here are some creative ways for intended parents or surrogates to use their extra hour, from self-care to connecting. Ready? Let’s get started!
Self-Care Moments
First, we all need a little me-time, right? Use the extra hour to pamper yourself. Self-care is always important whether you do gentle stretches, enjoy peace with a cup of tea, soak in a warm bubble bath, or go on a fall nature walk. Trust me, your body and mind will thank you for it!
Connect Over a Call or Video Chat
Your surrogacy journey may be an emotional rollercoaster. Taking this extra hour to reach out to your surrogate or intended parents may help you both feel loved and supported. A genuine call or video chat can strengthen your bond. It’s amazing what a difference a simple conversation can make. Whether it is to check in, start planning a visit, or get to know each other better, you will be grateful that you took some time to connect!
Journaling and Reflection
Do you have some thoughts and feelings you’d like to put down on paper? Now is the perfect time! Journaling can be extremely therapeutic, whether you are a surrogate documenting your journey or an intended parent reflecting on your hopes and dreams. Not to mention, it is a great way to capture those special moments to reflect on in the future!
Cook a Healthy Meal Together
Of course, if you live nearby, why not cook a meal together? Getting in the kitchen is a fun way to bond and guarantees you’re both eating healthily. Share your family traditions with your favorite holiday recipes with a healthy twist. Can’t be in the same kitchen? No worries. Share your favorite recipes and cook the same meal over a video call. It’s the next best thing!
