Sometimes time to myself is just me putting my makeup on, and that’s ok.

Sometimes time to myself is just me putting my makeup on, and that’s ok.
I have to remind myself that a little bit of time to sit down by myself is good.
Even if it is to just do something as simple as covering the bags under my eyes and applying some mascara.
It’s a time to sit and do something for myself.
I dont know what else to do with time to myself anymore honestly, but it’s something that I am working on. My baby isnt a newborn but he still does have a fair amount of naps at seven months old. I got used to him needing me around the clock. Now we have a fairly good schedule and I still don’t know how to take any of that nap time for myself. I got away from hobbies and doing things for myself. I think that comes with the territory of new motherhood.
Some days naps are few and far between; when naptime does happen, sometimes other priorities seem to take hold and I’ll find myself doing a lot of tasks at once, trying to accomplish too much, this was really bad when my son first came home. I felt like I had to have a perfect home, happy baby and do everything for everyone. But never anything for myself.
I’ve realized recently that I dont know what to do with time to myself. I’ll sit and procrastinate a lot about what I “should” be doing. Does a mom even take time for herself? Shouldn’t I be cleaning or getting the next thing ready to do?the bags packed for the next place we are going? Call nanny to plan a play date? Check on the baby? Is he breathing? Should I be taking this time to hangout with my partner?
It can be hard knowing when to take time for myself and when to focus on everything else.
Im not complaining about a lack of time.
It’s just hard right now to take time for myself, even when it is right there in front of me.
 I’m expressing a lack of knowing when to take that time to myself and what to do with it, but it is getting easier.
