Mumbai: New mom Deepika Padukone, who is going through a phase of sleep deprivation and burnout just like any other mother, feels that her decision-making ability is getting affected.
During the Live Love Laugh Foundation Lecture series hosted by Ariana Huffington on World Mental Health Day, Deepika talks about battling sleep deprivation after welcoming her daughter last month.
“When you are sleep-deprived or burnt out the decisions that you make and I think sometimes I can actually feel it. I know on particular days when I am feeling stressed or burnt out because I haven’t slept enough or practice my self-care rituals…I can tell that my decision-making is getting affected to some extent,” said the actress.
The actress also shared that it is normal to have both positive and negative emotions. But what matters is that how we control our negative emotions and learn from them.
“It’s absolutely normal and human to feel pain, anger, and some of these extreme emotions and learning from that. The larger picture is how do you deal with that criticism and how do you use it positively and work on yourself. You will have to put in the work and be patient,” she added.
The video of Deepika’s conversation with Ariana has been shared by Quint and The Print on YouTube and other social media platforms.
Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh welcomed their baby on September 8, this year.
