Do you feel “holiday” in the air? This is such an emotionally charged season. Even if you don’t get extra emotional by this season, I bet there are people around you who do. Some people get extra stressed, extra sad, extra depressed, extra belligerent, and some are extra giddy! On top of that, or maybe a contributor to all that, we get bombarded with sales ads, party invitations, and people. Have you noticed there seem to be extra people and vehicles on the street, in the stores, and in church pews? No matter your situation, positive or negative, we all get to interact with something “extra.”
This is the perfect time to… no, I’m not going to talk about commercialism or religion or politics…
This is the perfect time to focus on YOU!
What there’s “extra” of right now is little-kid energy. Let’s give ourselves permission to ride that “extra” energy wave and be child-like! You might have to sit still for a minute and close your eyes. Can you feel the little kid part of you, the part of you that sees the world with wonder and innocence? Is there something that comes up for you that gives you joy? I bet it’s something simple. Indulge yourself! Love on yourself! PLAY!
Why is this so important? Because when you love that beautiful part of you, it will leak out and touch the people next to you. And besides that, IT’S FUN!
I’ve been coloring lately. Joy!
