Let’s start with the palette of colors
The majority of festivals have dress codes. Nevertheless, if you know the theme of the party, it couldn’t be a walk in the park to create a glamorous outfit. Of course, it could be significantly tricky to come up with a combination of clothes without any topic. Whereas always we may be accompanied by difficulties, we suggest don't shy to wear bright clothes and be extraordinary.
Indeed, linen clothes could be the most exclusive ones. If you would like to find something in green, violet, blue or orange, then a linen-made shirt with funky fruits can be the best choice. Also, the garment which I mentioned has many advantages. At first, when you wear a shirt spotted with colorful fruits, would be hefty to catch an eye on you. Moreover, if you decide to wear “Funky fruits” linen shirt during the festival, you could find the lower part of the set without worries. For the most drop-dead gorgeous summer festival look, we suggest suiting by loungewear - a set which is divided by colorful linen shirts and shorts.
Of course, if the shirt isn't enough multicolored, for an entire colors pallet on yourself, wear yellow or blue linen shorts. By the way, wearing colorful loungewear would be comfortable as an old shoe. So, let’s plan your next dance party while wearing a new linen festival outfit.
Next step - prints and variegated patterns
During summer parties we have a lot of time in the sun, though everywhere is muggy. The best way to keep fascinating throughout the day could be to wear a linen shirt #sunaftertherain. From linen made garment is stunning graphic artwork. So, wearing a handmade shirt you would look extraordinary and comfortable because of its freshness after the rain (or maybe only due to the breathable and cool fabric).
Also, the linen shirt which is named “Sun after rain” is a special one. That garment is illustrated by drops of rain and the sun. So, all loungewear set could be concluded by the shirt and yellow or blue shorts (you can decide which one you will suit the most or get both (for the day and night of the festival days)).
Finally, it is a must to put a cherry on top of your final festival outfit. Therefore, the principal colors of the loungewear set are blue and yellow, we suggest do not hesitate and express your support for Ukraine. Maybe in this way, you would get attention not only due to for fascinating look but also for your empathy.
Combine accessories
Somebodies always say that you must wear an unusual accessory to complete the whole outfit. So, when you will create colorfully and spotted by prints festival outfit, don't forget to combine suitable accessories.
For instance, if you prepare for a hippie-style festival, combine your outfit with a flower crown, belt, or hat. Without a doubt, you would feel authentic “Flower child” times when you will suit “Light grey” or “Solid black” linen shirt. Whereas linen is easy to style and match with other clothes, you would be free to be unique. Also, if you would lack ideas on how to match with hippie style, let’s get a grey linen set of a shirt and shorts.
Moreover, for the other themes of festivals or just the most fascinating outfit, it is a must to wear sunglasses and kerchief. When you wear those accessories and a suitable set of linen clothes, for instance, any loungewear, it feels like on your skin and a unique garment fits your weekend vibe.

When you want to find some extraordinary clothes, you should check the assortment for women or men. Sometimes it wouldn’t be like a walk in the park because your favourite color garment is only for the other gender. However, it is possible to feel charming while wearing unisex clothes. Therefore, here you find some advice, on why it is worth choosing clothes which are suitable for everyone.
Independent for colors
Indeed, we are far away from the days when only girls wore pink dresses and blue was reserved only for boys. Today, men gracefully embrace floral-printed shirts, which would not have been possible during the older times. These days we see Harry Styles wearing the most unusual combination of clothes for men. So, his style shows that both colorful linen shirts and shorts could be suitable not only for females.
Of course, nowadays is a cornucopia of stereotypes for colors of genders. Therefore, we remind you that there are no men’s or female garments that both cannot wear. It proves clean as a new pin #nappingbear linen clothes collection. In it, you can discover from linen made white shirt which is named “Sun After The Rain”. Since the garment which I mentioned is breathable and bright, won’t be tricky to find the same one’s shorts. Certainly, there couldn’t be any question about gender because yellow or blue linen shorts fit everyone.
Also, vibrant colors are a must during this summer. So, it's your chance to be unforgettable while wearing a linen shirt. #funkyfruits
Beneficial to environment
Moreover, wearing unisex clothes is the way how to stay sustainable and adapt to slow fashion. Probably, one of the principal garments advantages is fewer variations in products. That’s why the production of, for example, unisex linen clothes has less waste.
Also, putting on your linen clothes has another advantage. There is no doubt, that during sleepovers somebodies don't want to share their clothes because they are females or males. But when your wardrobe is full of unisex linen garments, you can share them with everybody. Indeed, it is enough to have solid black or light grey linen shirt that your siblings or other friends won’t be naked. Thus, what can be better than having clothes suitable for women, men, or non-binary people?
You’ll never choose wrong
We see that sometimes choices to buy some clothes are deceptive. From time to time you can add to the cart the clothes which look like dressed to kill in the dressing cabin. But later, in front of the mirror purchases look too vulgar or oversize. To avoid these inopportune moments you can choose to buy unisex clothes.
Unisex linen clothes could be one of your best choices. Namely, during the summer season when you can't find your clothes on the beach (We know that it is fun to spend lots of time on the sand near the sea), hand-made linen products would be suited for everyone like an old shoe. So, you’ll never do the wrong decision by buying linen unisex ones. Therefore, be happy with your clean wardrobe and fit be linen shirt #notalwayshappy.

At the beginning of the diseases
Sleep deprivation influences the amygdala, which is the emotional region of our brain. To make a long story short when we are sleep-deprived, then emotions can affect us. So, we get bigger emotional responses to the various events that we encounter in our daily lives, especially negative events. Lack of sleep can cause not only a bad mood in the morning but also anxiety, depression, panic attacks, anger, ADHD, etc. Namely, attention–deficit hyperactivity disorder is closely associated with deprivation of sleep. Usually, it gets in children between the ages of six and 17 years old. According to researchers, problems with sleep could be one symptom of ADHD.
During the pandemic of COVID – 19, the majority of people get problems with sleep and mental health. On the strength of Australian medical research about work productivity, not only for bed wearing pajamas is associated with mental health problems. According to the study, while working from home people who wore pajamas during the day at least one day a week faced mental health had declined.

Namely, improving the quality of your sleep can help us to be healthier not only physical but also emotional.

Washing
There is no doubt, that if you want to catch someone’s eye with your clothes, you should carefully do washing, drying, and ironing. Sometimes after parties’ clothes can be in dire straits. In this case, only chemical cleaning is the only solution to save the clothes. However, chemical cleaning can be expensive, so it is useful to know, how to suitable wash linen clothes. At first, it might be best to wash linen clothes at a low temperature (on cycles at 30°C) on Easy Care or another program and use a mild detergent. Washing at 30 degrees can keep your colors vibrant and minimize shrinking. In the future properly washed linen clothes will be softer and milder. Also, not always is appropriate to use the conventional washing machine for linen materials. Usually, laundry could be marked for hand washing or dry cleaning only. Otherwise, you should attentively review the type of linen clothes. If they are vintage or embroidered, then you will need them hand-washed in cold water. So, washing handmade linen clothes is not difficult as building rockets. Merely, you should know step by step what to do.
We are used to ironing the majority of our clothes. However, is not necessary to iron laundries from linen material unless they are crushed. Certainly, if you have an item that needs pressing, then iron with a medium-hot iron on the steam setting while the fabric is still damp. White linen is better ironed on both sides and dark or colorful linen should be pressed only on the reverse side. Also, linen material has the feature to be a bit wrinkled. So, if you don’t mind the wrinkled look, don’t overdo it with the iron since linen fabric will stay stronger and less damaged if don’t use the heat of an iron on it.
Indeed, if the question may arise: “Is it possible to dry your handmade laundries in a tumble?”, the answer is absolute yes! The most appropriate would be to dry linen clothes at a low temperature and remove them from tumble while they are a little bit wet. Then hang everything and wait till you can dressed to kill everybody on the street.
Wearing
Linen is 30 percent stronger than cotton. For this reason, linen clothes you can wear longer than typical. However, it is a must to know the best way to wear linen clothes. Probably, linen clothes are suitable for all four seasons. Despite this, we can’t recall that clothes which are made from natural fabric we can wear under and coat or jacket. Linen otherwise than silk can maintain body temperature. Because of that to wear linen clothes will be healthier not only in bed or during the summer. Furthermore, flax fibers don’t stretch a great deal and are resistant to damage caused by abrasion. That clothes will not lose their shape after washing, if anything, they will become softer and more pleasant to the skin over time. So, if you wear your linen clothes like walk-on eggs, you will be happy with them longer.
Clothing storage
Last but not least is useful and important to store suitable linen clothes. Whereas linen is a natural material, linen clothes should be stored simply in your wardrobe. Nevertheless, you can’t put your linen clothes as simply as we said on the shelf. First of all, the place where you would like to store stuff that is made from linen should be dry, without plastic bags, cardboard boxes, and cedar chests. Also, linen has insect-repellent properties so you should have nothing to fear from moths or other gloomy creatures. By the way, don’t leave behind that after that washing it must give them a good airing. Finally, the last three main rules:
· only clean and dry linen clothes are put in storage;
· folding and packing your items before storage is a must;
· fold or roll your clothes for storage;
And there is no doubt, that if you comply with these three rules and WWC, the future generations will be happy with a frugal and friendly environment relative.

Can help to avoid a high level of stress
If you’re too hot in bed, this could increase your stress level and prevent you from waking up well-rested and calm. Probably, no one prefers to wake up like tossing and turning, therefore you can avoid it. So, if you would like to maintain the normal temperature of your body while sleeping, it is beneficial to choose linen pajamas instead of sleeping naked. At first, the main advantage of linen pajamas is the material. Namely, linen has a feature to absorb moisture and sweat. It allows you on hot summer days to sleep in pajamas without worries that will be unpleasantly hot in bed. However, during the boiling hot days, it is easier to hit the sack naked. Indeed, sometimes it can be the best opportunity, but if you would like to avoid some extremely embarrassing moments while living with parents or siblings, pajamas are way out.
Beneficial for self-confidence
Any lovely clothes make us feel decent and confident in public. For instance, putting on a nice suit might help a salesman get “in the zone” for work, or putting on a cute dress gives a woman confidence on a date, or any profession with a certain way of the dressing helps the brain switch to focus on the task. In the same way, putting on pajamas can help focus your brain on the act of sleep and feel more confident in bed. Not without a reason now you can find lots of shops which suggest lace or other types of pajamas. Moreover, wearing gorgeous pajamas may cause great sleep. By the way, Lithuanian ancient wisdom bears witness: “As you make your bed, so you will sleep”. In this context, it can be true, if you prepare to wear pajamas for sleeping. However, sleeping naked is not always a good idea. Nevertheless, nudity allows breathing for the body, for aesthetics it couldn’t be comfortable.
Useful for a better relationship
When you sleep with someone like a couple of “Twix”, a question may arise, what do you wear in bed. Sleeping naked may improve relationships because direct skin-to-skin contact between people causes the body to release a hormone called oxytocin. Also, sleeping naked gives a sense of freedom and may help you feel more loving. When your skin is naked it acts as a signal for sexual arousal. On the other hand, sexy or just gorgeous pajamas could make your sleep better as well. Namely, beautiful pajamas allow us to feel not only cozily, but also sexy and passionately. For example, it is always a good idea for partners to wear linen pajamas, which are not only sustainable, comfortable but also enchanting. Exclusively, for you and your partner wearing colorful linen pajamas could be the key to the sweetest night dreams.
Helps a person to fall asleep faster
Probably the biggest advantage of going to sleep naked is the opportunity to fall asleep faster. It is known that heat exposure increases wakefulness and decreases slow wave sleep and rapid eye movement sleep. Sleeping naked can help the skin cool off faster, which may help lower body temperature and allow a person to get to sleep sooner. On the contrary, if you choose suitable material pajamas, then you also easily fall asleep. For example, choosing linen material pajamas could maintain body temperature and reach the REM phase much sooner. However, not all pajamas’ materials can maintain the normal body temperature. So, it is important to choose clothes for sleep that are made from high-quality material.
So, we presented only a few facts, how nudity and pajamas can change our sleep. Maybe some of them will change your attitude towards going to bed naked or wearing pajamas.

There is no doubt that everyone would like to sleep like a log. However, currently the majority of people suffer for having a bad sleep or insomnia (inability to sleep). So, if you dream to sleep well every night, we have a few recommendations for you:
Suitable pajamas
As we know there are so many types of pajamas. For instance, women can wear nightgowns, oversized shirts. Both sexes can sleep with joggers and T-shirts, shorts and tank tops, onesies or only with underwear. Nevertheless, the most important thing for sleeping clothes is their material. Namely, pajamas which are made of linen allow your skin to breathe. Also, material which was mentioned has a feature to absorb moisture and sweat. That is why linen pajamas are especially great for those who get hot at night as it draws moisture, sweat and keeps you cool at night. Moreover, linen pajamas are a long-term investment for rigid material which ensures its strength and longevity. For this reason, you don’t need to buy new clothes for sleeping for a long time.
Create a restful environment
It is necessary to mention that without suitable pajamas is also important the environment where you sleep. So, if your room does not have any device for light, it is possible that you will sleep well. Namely, darkness which is during the night helps our brains to produce a hormone, melatonin. Melatonin production causes feelings of sleepiness and relaxation. For this reason, it is useful in an environment where you won't have any TV lights. Also, it is recommended 2 hours before sleep don’t use your smartphone or install an app that blocks blue light. Moreover, it is important to maintain proper temperature (from 15.6 to 22.0 degrees Celsius) in your room before going to bed. Lastly, your sleep won’t be great without a high quality, clean mattress and bedding.
Pay attention what you eat and drink before sleep
Last but not least it is useful and important not only to lie down on a high-quality mattress wearing comfortable linen pajamas but also your eating habits. The most not recommended is to consume caffeine or alcohol before going to bed. Namely, alcohol negatively affects melatonin production and enhances symptoms of snoring or disrupted sleeping. Well, if you choose to drink caffeine instead of alcohol before sleep, in your dreams you would be like tossing and turning. Caffeine stimulates the nervous system. For this reason, the body may stop naturally relaxing at night. Also, if you have a cup of tea for cheese balls with jalapenos, nachos or Buffalo wings, you would rather eat it for lunch instead of dinner. Spicy and fatty food is tougher for the stomach to digest than bananas or proteins. So, for a great night's sleep it is necessary to drink water and eat food which contains serotonin or melatonin, for instance, berries, almonds, kiwi, bananas, turkey or cherry juice.
There are many tips and tricks for sleeping like a log. So, if you would like to make your sleep quality better than ever, then change your daily habits from sleeping clothes to environment.

When it comes to sustainable living it’s not all about the things you buy or don’t buy it’s more about how you take care of the things, especially clothes. Even if you buy from fast fashion (everyone has its reasons) you still can make most of the purchases that you have and prolong the life of your garment. Yes, the responsibility of choosing the right materials or production waste and etc are on the brand's side, but when you purchase the clothing item, the ball is in your court! So, what can you do to be more sustainable as the owner of these clothes and especially of linen pajamas?
1. Look for care labels
they not gonna lie, it’s a (not so) secret trick to keep your garment looking neat and new. Not all clothes need to be dry cleaned, as one might think. Many clothes can be lightly washed in the washing machine but everything comes down to the material composition. If there are no care labels, but you know the garment composition. If there is a mix of two or more fabrics, wash by the rules of the most sensitive, like silk-cashmere or etc.
2. Washing and drying your clothes
First of all, colors with colors, whites with whites, just in case you forgot. It’s a common mistake when it comes to ruining your clothes.
Linen - can be washed in the washing machine at low temperature 30°C, use the gentle machine cycle and mild detergent for protection of the fibers. You can tumble dry linen clothes or just hang them. After every wash linen becomes softer and softer if you wash it right. It can be a long-lasting garment, which will never lose its form.
Cotton - can be washed similarly as linen clothes, at low temperature with a gentle machine cycle. But when it comes to drying it depends on the material if its cloth (textile) you can hang it and let it air dry, but if it’s knitwear (stockinette) do not hang it, just lay flat on the surface and let it dry.
Wool - very similar to linen. wool is a delicate material, so sometimes it’s recommended to wash it by hand, but nowadays, ain’t nobody got time for that (haha, kidding). In most cases, you can use a washing machine at a low temperature on a slow cycle. And all wool garments should be dried laying flat on the surface.
3. How often to wash your clothes?
Levis CEO, Chip Bergh, said that jeans shouldn’t be washed in a washing machine. He simply suggests spot cleaning if it gets dirty or hands washing your jeans. Yes, you can enjoy your favorite pair of jeans for longer, even forever and you use less water. win-win. But when it comes to different clothes it’s not that easy. Let’s talk about pajamas, if you sleep every night in a linen pajama, you will want to wash it after 2-3weeks, if you walk all day with that same pajama that you sleep in, you should probably think about a more common washing plan. There is no right answer for this one, and it’s deeply personal for everyone, but the recommendation would be to think twice before throwing clothes in the washing bag after one day “is it really dirty or I just wore for one day and it's perfectly fine?” Fewer washes the longer lifecycle of the clothes are.
There are many tips and tricks for sustainable living, but in my opinion, sustainable living comes from the inside, from being mindful with your time, with your clothes, and with your mind. Be mindful about the clothes you wear and take care of them. Not throw them mindlessly into the washing machine after one worn and then run and buy a bunch more, because “clothes nowadays don’t seem to hold on too long”.
]]>This disorder leads to so many complications like high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes and other health issues that it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand why the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention considers it as one of the most serious public health problems of the 21st century.
Sleep statistics revealed that over 68% of Americans have difficulty falling asleep at least once a week. This means that more than half the population in the US have days when they can’t fall asleep. Wow!
It is also important to note that sleeping pills do not cure insomnia as The National Sleep Foundation recorded that 1 in 4 Americans take different medications to sleep well. However, there is no evidence that medications can cure insomnia.
In view of these, therapy lessons are usually recommended to help people sleep better and one of the key factors in these lessons includes sleeping in high-quality pajamas.
As human beings, a nice night rest is a principal factor in our general health and wholeness. We at Napping Bear believe that everyone, irrespective of their age, gender or race deserve to have a rejuvenating night rest at all times. Hence the reason why Napping Bear Linen Pajamas was produced.
This article will be giving you an in-depth explanation on how linen pajamas can help in getting quality sleep and why every family should have one in their arsenal.
But first, let’s see what pajamas are and why they are important for sleep.
What Are Pajamas?
Simply put, pajamas are a pair of loose fitting material suitable for sleeping.
Why Is It Important To Sleep in High-Quality Pajamas?
Every attire we put on harmonizes with our mood.
The same way our work wears depicts professionalism and social wear spikes up our enjoyment mood. Pajamas relaxes our body after the day's work and makes us feel comfy. It complements your sleep time mode.
A healthy lifestyle goes beyond exercising, reducing strenuous activities, eating balanced diets. These life habits are important but excitement is another factor, it releases certain hormones in us and it can be as simple as just wearing high-quality pajamas to bed.
Pajamas can improve the quality of sleep in various ways, some of which are:
1. PROTECTING THE BODY FROM COLD
Sleeping in a chilly room for a long period without proper coverings will lead to cold and advance to hypothermia. Pajamas protect the body from cold throughout the night. They are perfect for snuggling in during a cold or rainy night, coupled with the feeling of ultimate comfort, they are guaranteed to give you a heavenly feeling.
2. HYGIENE
Sleep is a rejuvenating and healing process. During sleep, the skin sheds dead cells and renews itself. These dead cells are full of microorganisms and which are capable of causing infections when they accumulate. Sleeping in pajamas will cause the microorganisms and dead skin shed in your dress and not on your bedspread. The pajamas act as a barrier between the body and the bedsheets, this is why it is advised that pajamas be frequently washed.
3. COMFORT
Comfortability is very important in getting a good night's sleep. Being cozy in your sleep will help you get into a deep sleep quickly and let you stay there for a good amount of time without interruptions.
The material of the pajamas has to be comfortable. At Napping Bear we offer linen pajamas fabric choices that are natural, eco-friendly, and sustainable
LINEN PAJAMAS
Linen is an all-natural material derived from a popular flax plant. The fabric has been in use for a very long time and it is the most comfortable material in the clothing industry.
The use of linen has been extended to the pajamas and beddings. Linen’s longevity is astounding as the fabric becomes softer and better the more you wash and use it.
Apart from its longevity, linen is also very strong and it has adsorbent properties which makes it ideal for hot weather. It is breathable and extremely comfortable on the skin.
We've compiled some benefits of linen pajamas and their amazing benefits for human health.
They include;
NATURAL COOLNESS
Linen is known for its permeability and coolness especially in hot weather. Linen gives room for temperature regulation and also allows air circulation. This keeps the skin dry and comfortable.
COMFORTABILITY
Heat is one of the major causes of restlessness and insomnia. People with sweat issues often get uncomfortable due to the irritation it causes on the skin. This can lead to sleepless nights and form scars on the skin.
Nevertheless, linen fabric is soft, breathable and highly adsorbent - all the propeties you could ever want in a sleeping material.
It also dries fast, and doesn't weigh one down while sleeping. The material softens when used and washed over time.
DOES NOT STRETCH, IS NONTOXIC AND RETAINS SHAPE
Resistivity to abrasion damage is another important advantage of linen. Linen pajamas do not stretch nor lose their shape after washing, rather, they feel softer and more comfortable over time.
Also, due to its low thread count and loose weave property, it hardly retains dust, making it a nontoxic material.
CHIC AND CLASSY
Our luxurious linen pajamas sets at Napping bear are cozy, comfortable, and also very classy. This allows the pajamas to be worn both indoors and outdoors.
LINEN PAJAMAS ARE LONG-LASTING
Sustainable clothing is now on the rise, this is why linen pajamas becoming increasingly prominent. In addition to being long lasting, linen can also be recycled.
At Napping Bear, we encourage people to take care of themselves and make their ideas come to life fully rested by creating durable, comfy, and sustainable pajamas.

And surprise surprise, not that long ago linen had a come back when people started looking for something natural, durable and eco-friendly, they once again found linen. An there is a great reason for that.
Why linen is good?
Linen is strong and lightweight material it reacts to body temperature and can act as a cooler on hot summer days. Especially when it comes to pajamas. It absorb sweat and dries faster than any other material. When it comes to natural materials, they all adapt to the body and act as a second skin. That is why it’s so important to choose the right material before buying anything. Keep in mind that linen is incredibly soft and it wrinkles. These wrinkles is adapting to the body movements. It also gives that lounging and relaxed fit. It wrinkles to your comfort.
Linen mixed with non-natural fibers?
It’s a hard no for these ones. Any natural material mixed with elastane is no longer sustainable, you can’t recycle it and they are not biodegradable anymore. Also material lose the main properties of linen, like durability, absorption etc.
Linen and other sustainable fabrics.
Linen, organic cotton, silk, bamboo, lyocell, wool, cashmere and etc. These are the main natural and sustainable materials. They are all different and they are all wonderful materials for clothing. As mentioned before all natural fabrics are great at adapting to your body, but they have different feel, look and and different usage also. Linen, silk, bamboo are good fabrics for loungewear, sleepwear or pajamas. Everything that is near body. Lyocell and organic cotton is good for outwear, for dresses and blouses/sweatshirts. Wool and cashmere are the real best friends in the winter for sweaters or knitted dresses.
Why linen is good for sleeping?
ok, we have learned that linen is soft, lightweight, durable, absorbent and perfectly adapts to your body movements. If this doesn’t sound good, I will paint an image for you. It’s morning and you wake up refreshed and rested. You didn’t woke up at night because you were too hot or too cold, your linen pajama took care of that and adapted to your body temperature, to cool you or to warm you. It’s sounds to good to be true, but natural materials are like that, they are here for you. For example sleeping in polyester pajama, would be totally different, because your body feels like its wrapped in a plastic bag and it has no way to breath.
So that is it on short intro into the linen basic and other sustainable fabrics. It’s important to be mindful when buying certain clothing, keep an eye for sustainable and durable fabrics and choose pieces that you can wear more than once or twice! Chose quality over quantity and thank me later!
Goodnight!
]]>Let's talk about your slow morning routine!🤍
Waking up and being present in the moment keeps your mind sane in this hectic world and perfectly prepares you for whatever day you have. Sometimes we become so used to running, jumping, and tackling every check on a to-do list before we even wake up. And that threw us off the balance. To keep you sane and not to burn out it’s important to have a slow morning routine, even for few minutes.
Where to start?
Start with only a 15-20min routine, here are the simple guides:
🐣 after waking up don’t grab your phone.
Just sit still and let your body wake up, try not to think about the tasks, just enjoy being, notice how you feel and what you want. In your mind say thank you for another day, for your pet, family, or anything that makes you just a little bit happy. Sending grateful thoughts into the universe and being thankful boosts your mood and you are totally gonna step out of bed on the right foot.
Pro tip: You can set your ‘do not disturb’ mode on your phone, throughout the whole night, and in the morning, new notifications, messages, and calls that can wait won’t bother you. And if there is something really really important you can manage the number that would go through the ‘do not disturb’ mode. But remember it’s your time, and if you won’t make time for yourself, nobody will do it for you. Everything can wait until you are fully awake and mindful!
💧 drink a glass of water, to wake up your stomach. Yes, this point can be applied everywhere, because we usually don’t drink enough water. But in the morning especially drink at least the same amount of coffee cup, you so badly want in the morning.
☕️ take time to make yourself some good coffee or tea if you prefer. Enjoy every sip.
I once heard a phrase ‘If you don’t have time for a good cup of coffee in the morning, is this is how you want to live your life’. Not running, not multitasking, at least in the morning. Create your own coffee ritual and actually taste the coffee, not just chug down.
🤸♀️ stretch out, do some push-ups, sit-ups, or dance it out, just to start your blood pumping and your body to start releasing some serotonin and dopamine. You don’t need to spend 1 hour of full cardio training, also, you can do your excersie in your pajamas. Exercising can take up to 10 or 15minutes. And if you make it your routine and do it every day, you not only gonna feel energized but stronger after some time. We all can have 15 minutes in the morning before shower.
Even after a short routine like that, you can start your day with a better mood and energy still in your pajamas. Spending your morning already worried about the day or scrolling through social media right after you wake up, doesn’t let you feel or have your own emotions and thoughts. Especially for people who have creative tasks is difficult to create something new, when even your day starts with other people thoughts. As you understood already every single step is connected with being mindful and noticing what are you doing, how are you feeling, inviting new ideas and new thoughts to your mind.
Spend your slow mornings in cute pajamas or kimono robes. Choose yours here:
🌿 Material - look for natural materials, such as linen, silk, or organic cotton. Remember, not everything that shines as silk is silk. Check the labels, ask the right questions. Natural materials are more expensive than synthetic or artificial materials. Look for quality. You deserve it!
Linen is a perfect choice because it is entirely natural, eco-friendly, and adapts to your body temperature and body movements. Hence, it’s super comfortable, and it gets better and better every night. Don’t be afraid of wrinkles. They are soft and make your pajamas more fluffy. Silk pajamas are hypoallergic and super soft. If you are allergic to linen or have susceptible skin, it’s a great substitute.
Why are synthetic or artificial materials, not the best choice for pajamas? You spend at least 8 hours in your pajamas, and you want your body to rest and relax as much as possible. Synthetic materials are not breathable and don’t adapt to your body as natural ones do. So when you sleep, you can feel too hot or even sweat. That creates discomfort for your body, and you can’t rest properly.

So after a run or a dancing session, you will literally be happier!
