On the last day of 2018, my husband asked me, ” What would you like to do today Sweetie?” A question he asks often. Upon reflection, I replied with an answer he does not hear very often. ” Stay in my Pyjamas all day”. I replied. I put on my cute flannel PF’s decked out with skier bears and bunnies and had a great day. It was restful, creative, restorative and fun. Somehow, by staying in my pyjamas all day, I was signaling to myself, that this was a day of doing only what I wanted to do, I mean I wasn’t going to go outside in my PJ’s or visit or work, no I only did what I wanted to do.
For me wearing my PJ’s all day signaled a gentleness, an about me mode, a sit down and watch movies in the middle of the afternoon and read a book kind of a day. Here is the thing, I woke up today on New Year’s Day, full of energy, enthusiasm and excitement for the new day and the New Year!
As I reflect on my Pyjama Day, I realized that for me it was like pushing the Pause Button, I didn’t even know I needed or wanted a pause, but spending the day in my PJ’s gave it to me.
Wonder what would be your pause button? Would love to hear your thoughts.
Wishing each and every one of you the most glorious and prosperous New Year.
