Standing in the shower, letting hot water pour over my tired body, I wanted to lengthen my alone time. I already heard from the monitor that the baby was stirring, and the dog was sniffing under the door and pacing in front of the bathroom. As my brain reviewed the endless to-do list, I felt guilt creeping in for “indulging” in extra seconds in the warm shower stream. Therapists may tell you a shower isn’t self-care, but part of your basic needs. But as a working mom, it was my only self care time. A need to maximize aka multi-task was ever-present and bordering feelings of inadequacy. Despite all my efforts, I was overwhelmed.
It was always easier to encourage my friends or clients to give themselves grace, compassion and champion achieving the little things. However, I certainly wasn’t giving myself that opportunity of grace. I felt I had to do more, become more efficient, be less irritable that the baby just blew out their diaper again up the back, and somehow I'm late again.
This was never how I pictured myself postpartum, particularly as I had all the tools theoretically as a clinical social worker. I get it that it doesn’t feel easy, that we thought we were doing better and somehow moved backwards, and that we feel stuck sometimes. Let’s dive through the muck together, and re-access those parts of you that bring out your glow.
