One of the intentions I set for this year was to play more. Kids
have fun, dogs have fun, any being that is capable of being in the moment, has
fun. I want to be that being. At first this statement came out as a whine but
luckily it has become a statement with an excited inflection, with practice and
application. I realized I had arrived at that place when a client said to me
"Vicki, I think you have fun no matter what you are doing." I stopped
to think about it and said, yes, yes I do. Why? Because even though I know we
are eternal and that life really isn't short, each incarnation is and I want to
squeeze every bit of joy out of the experience I am in. That doesn't mean I am
high energy all the time. Happiness can happen while being quiet and enjoying
the rays of sun or the silly chipmunk that messes with the dog’s head because
it knows he can't leave the fenced in area. Cracks me up every time. That joy
is what I want to see when I do my life review on the other side. I want to
know that I got what we are here to do, play, laugh, love, learn to move
through sadness and experience all that is, without lamenting and getting stuck
in our stuff.
Since this is my birthday month, I've
decided to extend it beyond a simple day, I am using an acronym for play that works
for me; Perfectly Loving Another Year! What would be your acronym? How could
you support yourself by creating your own mantra to remind you to lighten up
and be playful or full of play in this year? It doesn't have to be a big leap,
you can start with Presently Liking A Yawn. Keep it simple but apply it to your
life with a bit of movement to a higher vibrational frequency. (Neutral is
higher than anger, frustration higher than that, joy higher than that, etc)
Look at the boys in the picture up top. Life
is like that, up and down, hopefully with a bounce but there is no doubt there
is gravity in our existence. How you address it determines how quickly you will
move to a new emotion. Life isn't stagnant, don't you be.
I don't believe this is just a summer
thing either. This is something we need to apply year round for our mental,
physical and spiritual health. Laughter is such a great healer but you have to
be willing to go there. Be childlike, love the life you have and then use your
adult self to make it better and better and better. It can be if you want it to
and if you apply a little action.
Now, I am off to picnic and whatever else
I can get myself into on this gorgeous day. I hope you play a bit every day and
connect to the REAL fountain of youth.
Bouncing off to higher frequencies,
Vicki
p.s. Play with those kids and teach them
that adults don't have to be so serious and stuffy. Please!
