when it’s bedtime I stay up late. when she’s taking a nap during the day I like to smoke and listen to music and it always makes me feel a little better

I used to meditate when all my boys were napping, now when I get alone time I crochet (really not that difficult to learn, cathartic, and all you really need is maybe $10 or less for supplies), knit, read mental health or parenting books, or do my makeup which i find to be not only a way to express myself but it's also therapeutic and gives me control of how the outside world perceives me.

I feel this that’s why I go to the gym to feel good and burn energy it’s so hard to get alone time I get this so I usually do a face mask while cooking or cleaning and the gym is the only place I get alone time I go to bed early when I can to wake up 30 mins before my son lol

I relate! One way I get alone time that isn’t really alone time is I drive somewhere scenic. Baby naps and I drink coffee, enjoy the view and listen to a podcast.

My favorites are working out
(I always suggest Planet Fitness to moms who aren't regular gym goers/tight budgets bc memberships are only $10 and its a super beginner friendly environment)
Watching a movie or couple episodes of a TV series at night after my LO falls asleep.
My daughter isn't a big sleeper/napper and we close bond parent. It can be very overwhelming at times especially if I'm feeling touched out. She doesn't sleep in the car EVER lol I love the idea gave of coffee and driving around if your baby will sleep in the car or enjoys being in the car 😊
I know for a lot of mom's the idea of working out is exhausting or not their thing. I get it, trust me. This has just been a life changer for me and has helped me in so many positive ways so I try to share whenever I can ✨️

I read a lot! It helps me take my mind off things! Kindle unlimited is pretty reasonable and they have so many books!

Put on noise cancelling headphones, listen to music or comedians on YouTube
