It must be the summer energy that is swirling around us. Everyone I talk with mentions something about wanting to have more fun in their lives. It seems that so many of us have been really having stressful times and that we are ready to step out of the density and into the more carefree energy of summer. We want to play. We want to dance and sing. We want to travel and swim, and just generally feel that we are in the flow of life.
This is a great time to do just that. In order to know what “play” would look like for you, you must take some quiet time to hear your inner voice. Trust me, you will be able to hear what you would like to do if you are quiet and allow yourself to tune in. Something will just pop into your mind and if it gives you the feeling of tiny bubbles in your chest, it is just the thing to do. There is a sparkle of excitement that comes with this thought.
There may also be an instantaneous denial of the desire–” no way I can do that because…” Just notice the way in which you close down your desires. Do you decide it is too expensive, too difficult, too childish? Or do you cling to your busyness and your need to get some task done, so that there is no room for that frivolous desire? Allow yourself to consider the possibility that you really can step away from the intensity of your life and you really can splurge.
Go for it! Have some fun. Do something silly. Play. Only good will come of it. You will raise your vibration and when you come back to your responsibilities it will be with a lightness of heart, and perhaps even some completely new insights about your tasks. Maybe next time you feel that inner urging to play, you will allow yourself to go for it much more quickly. Here’s to summer.
