Reposting because it's just as true today as it was 4 years ago! ✌️😝
I do my makeup almost everyday, but it is not an indication of whether or not my s**t is together! 😂 As you can see from this picture, there are toys everywhere, breakfast dishes still on the table, that laundry there has been ready to pack away for days and there is a growing pile of ‘stuff’ on the unit at the back that might get dealt with one day (one of many piles I might add). At the start of the year I made a number of promises to myself, one being make more time for self care. At the time I had imagined monthly massages, weekly trips to the gym by myself and sitting in a bubble bath everyday...then reality hit 😂 but instead of giving up on finding a ‘me’ thing, I decided to take 10mins a day to do my makeup. I don’t do it because the actual makeup makes me feel better (I’m more than happy to roll around all day with no makeup and my hair in a messy bun), it’s the 10 minutes of focus on me that makes me feel better. Especially after long sleepless nights and early starts. The difference that 10mins can make to my attitude is astonishing. I’d love to meditate or sit in silence, but the boys don’t allow for that, bless them 🥰
Over time I’m sure that my ‘me time’ will change and maybe I will get my daily meditation and monthly massage, but for now a bit of time in front of the mirror while the boys play does it for me.
