The Day of Pause is a global holiday dedicated to resetting.
For 24 hours, the world agrees to slow down.
Shops close. Phones rest. The internet quiets. Cities breathe.

We step away from the noise and reconnect—with ourselves, with one another, and with life itself.

It’s not about doing nothing—it’s about doing what fills your soul:

Taking a slow walk and actually feeling the wind.

Sitting with someone you love, just to talk.

Writing your thoughts and dreams.

Listening—to silence, to yourself, to life.

🌍 Why the World Needs It

We live in an age where hustle is glorified and stillness is forgotten.
We’re constantly connected yet deeply disconnected—from peace, presence, and purpose.

The Day of Pause challenges that.
It says: “Stop. Breathe. Remember who you are beneath the busyness.”

Because rest is not laziness.
Reflection is not weakness.
And silence is not empty—it’s full of wisdom waiting to be heard.

💫 How We Celebrate

The beauty of The Day of Pause is that it’s universal. No religion, no politics—just humanity.

Morning: Begin with silence. Disconnect from your phone. Feel your breath.
Afternoon: Gather. Talk. Cook. Share stories. Play real games.
Evening: Light a candle. Write down what you’re grateful for. Forgive. Let go.

It’s a day to disconnect to reconnect—to yourself, to others, to the moment.

🌟 The Ripple Effect

Imagine if billions paused together.
A single day of calm could ripple into a lifetime of peace.
We’d listen more, rush less, love deeper.

Maybe the peace we find in this one day could stretch into every other day that follows.

🥳 Why You Should Celebrate

Because you deserve rest without guilt.
Because slowing down doesn’t make you fall behind—it helps you find your way.
Because a peaceful mind is a powerful mind.

So mark it down: The first Sunday of every June — The Day of Pause.

No shopping lists. No endless scrolling.
Just a quiet moment to say:
✨ I am here. I am enough. I am allowed to pause. ✨

💭 Final Thought

If we can dedicate days to sales, selfies, and shopping—
we can dedicate one day to stillness, reflection, and healing.

The Day of Pause isn’t just a holiday.
It’s a homecoming to yourself.

Self Care

Posted on June 26, 2023 by DimmaJo Blog

How do you practice self-care?

Practicing self-care is very crucial in our lives. It replenishes us with the right kind of energy. Mental, social, physical, and psychological energy for good and healthy living.

Self-care has been defined as “a multidimensional, multifaceted process of purposeful engagement in strategies that promote healthy functioning and enhance well-being. Essentially, self-care means a conscious act people take in order to promote their own physical, mental, and emotional health.

Self care is all about self-love. If you love yourself, you will do anything humanly possible to improve yourself, body and mind. You can practice self care by doing the following ;

1. Get enough sleep and do your best to keep a consistent sleep schedule.

2. Regular exercise improves your mood and concentration.

3. Eat healthy. Try as much as possible to eat a well-balanced meal, and always stay hydrated.

4. Surround yourself with supportive and positive-minded people.

5. Set a clear goal and stay focused

6. Practice gratitude and prioritize your needs

7. Learn how to manage stress

8. Love yourself first. You can’t give what you don’t have. You can’t love someone when you don’t love yourself enough.
