I am one of those people who, if I am stressed, I withdraw, which of course made being a mum to a baby extremely hard! So I have really focussed on eliminating stress factors, ie reducing debts, keeping on top of housework, ignoring unwanted opinions etc. it's taken me a loooong time but I realized tonight how much it's changed me and how much more time I have to focus on my dd! I'm really hoping this will allow me to focus on my baby more this time instead of having my mind elsewhere.

What about you? Have you made positive changes?
