Pajama Days

I have this wonderful habit that I love and I wonder if you can relate? There is no greater feeling than knowing I am off the clock when I get home from work and changing IMMEDIATELY into cozy pajamas.

I have discussed this with many people and this trend seems more popular than I first realized. It feels so comforting to know that I am in for the evening, with no pressing obligations and my wardrobe choice agrees. Sound familiar anyone?

Pajama Days at my school are my absolute fav! I am not a morning person, and most days feel that I am not even functional before my first coffee. For this reason, when we have pajama days at work, it is so incredible that even before my feet hit the floor, I am already ahead of the game. Pair that day with a Friday and my joyful heart can barely handle it!

I recall one year when I was the only online teacher in the building at the time our virtual school had a Pajama Day. As I walked around in my pajamas proud as can be, the other staff smiled giving me knowing looks, with complete understanding that it was Pajama Day in my online classroom.

Even if I was the only person in the WHOLE building wearing pajamas, that didn't stop me. I owned it and pajamas are and always will be a favourite part of my attire.

Not to be overlooked, hand and hand with pajamas, is the ultimate pairing of taking a nap. Funny how as kids we hated them, but now as adults we cherish them.

The thing is when you are napping, you get to check out of the chaos that is life (if even for a short time), and that my friend is a truly, magical thing.

Getting a break from the daily grind is very necessary and helps us get some much-needed reprieve. 

Although as human beings we can often feel the need to check out for a while, it is interesting that our God is never off the clock.

​In Psalms 121:4 it says: we serve a God who never slumbers or sleeps. That is the cool thing. Awake or asleep our God is looking out for us always. Isn't just knowing that so reassuring? 

It is so important to give yourself a rest from your daily tasks. It is a wonderful type of self-care, and your body soul and spirit will thank you for it. 

If your mind is troubled, or your heart is heavy in His word it also states that God will keep you in perfect peace when you fix your mind on Him. 

So remember that pajamas and self-care go together very well. Rest assured that waking or sleeping God has your back and you deserve the rest.

Call to action:
Please take care of yourself. Let me know what type of self-care you find works for you? Drop a comment down below about it.

If you are someone who needs to pencil in a self-care activity you enjoy, do it now. Pencil it in like any other appointment. This will ensure that it will happen and you are making yourself a priority. 

Let's continue to uplift and inspire each other.

Until next time,
