Kim Kardashian West – who has two children with Kanye – is said to have changed for the better following a much-needed break from the spotlight.

After getting robbed at gunpoint in Paris last year, she has learned to appreciate a simpler and slower life, as it’s allowed her to spend more time with family.

A source told People magazine: “Taking time off after the robbery has really changed Kim. And for the better. She initially was just too shocked and traumatised to deal with anything but her kids.

As time went on, she realised that she actually loved her slower life. She feels very grateful that she has been able to spend the past few months just focusing on her kids. Kim thinks they are growing too fast and she has enjoyed spending more quiet time with them.”

And while the 36-year-old beauty is ready to resume a more hectic work schedule, she wants to tackle each project slowly this time around.

“She does seem ready now though to tackle more work. She will still be on a much slower schedule than before the robbery. She is carefully choosing work events and projects that she wants to focus on for the next few months.

Her mindset seems very different. She acts more relaxed when it comes to work. She will definitely not go back to overloading her schedule again any time soon. She seems to have find a much better life balance. And it seems to make her much happier.”

Kim kicked off the new year by posting a photo of the rapper with their children. She has also communicated with numerous fans through Twitter while posting more images on her Instagram account.
