Good morning!!
As many of you may already know, I am a to-do list kind of girl! I keep to do lists for what needs to get done in my lifetime, this year, this month, this week,, and today! Even though things are getting accomplished and things are getting crossed off my lists, I have been feeling a little burnt out by it all; combine that with the fact that since my sweetie is out working today, I have the day to myself!! Aaaaaah!! 😉
So, I am declaring that today is…
FLANNEL JAMMY DAY!!!
Today is the day that I am going to put away my normal to-do list, just for the day, and replace it with a to-do list of things that I can do to gently take care of my inner self today (the key word being GENTLY)!!
Some of the things on today’s list are:
- Take a relaxing shower and take time to just enjoy the sensation.
- Wash, tone, and moisturize your face, neck, and decollete, and really take time to see yourself in the mirror.
- Brush and floss your teeth, don’t forget to mouthwash, this instantly makes me feel like I’m taking care of myself.
- Use your favorite body lotion all over to make all your bits feel baby soft.
- Slip into your favorite comfy jammy’s – preferably non-holey, and something you feel beautiful in.
- Give yourself a manicure.
- Give yourself a pedicure.
- Eat whatever whole, healthy foods you want all day today, no stress, no pressure.
- If you must get dressed in your real clothes, take yourself out for a casual walk where you can enjoy the sights and sounds of nature.
- Spend some time in the quiet just meditating.
- Make yourself a lovely cup of tea and snuggle up with a good book, and don’t feel guilty if you happen to doze off.
- Water, water, water! Keep yourself hydrated. Add a few slices of cucumber or lemon, and serve it in a chilled wine glass to make it feel special.
- Spend some time loving on your pets, your stress level will immediately lower.
- If you have kids, spend some time just observing them while they play.
- Join them.
- Smile for no reason.
- Spend some time writing your thoughts in a journal.
- Don’t be afraid to be alone. Alone time can be really nourishing to your soul.
- Keep the tele off today, but if you must watch something pop in a great chick flick you have been wanting to see.
- If you must keep your phone on, keep it to a lower volume so as not to cause any unnecessary anxiety.
- Make it a point to do something you LOVE today.
What would your list look like? If you don’t have an entire Flannel Jammy Day, is there something you would like to do in just a spare hour? Half hour? 5 minutes??
As I go and thoroughly enjoy my new found Flannel Jammy Day…
Have a FABULOUS day!
