🦋 Bubbles' 5-Minute Postpartum Reset 🦋

A tiny self-care menu for the postpartum after

Bubbles

There's No Perfect Way To Reset Today

Some days you have five minutes. Some days you have two. Both count. Pick whatever your body and your schedule actually have room for right now — nothing here requires more than that.

Bubbles' Note

You don't need the 10-minute version to be doing this right. The 2-minute version, done, is still self-care.

Pick Your Window

2 Minutes

I Have Nothing Left

Unclench your jaw, drop your shoulders.
Four slow breaths — longer exhale than inhale.
Drink the water that's already next to you.
Stand near a window for daylight on your face.
One hand on your heart: "I'm doing this."

5 Minutes

I Have A Little Window

Wash your face, put on something that isn't pajamas.
Eat something with protein, standing at the counter.
Text one person just to say hi.
Play one song and actually let yourself feel it.
Stretch your neck and shoulders while baby's nearby.

10 Minutes

Someone Else Has The Baby

A hot shower with the door closed.
Lie down somewhere quiet — sleep is optional.
Step outside for air. No baby, no phone.
Eat a full meal sitting down.
Voice-message a friend who gets it.
