Dear Wellness Seekers,
Friday Wellness Tip: Joyful Play is a Self Care Summer theme Spanista suggests to embrace today and into the weekend. No matter where we are children appear demonstrating the ability to be free of mind and heart through play. They express themselves from the inside out – exposing how their imaginations see things, not how they world expects them to see things. And happiness is revealed.
See my little fairy friend here. She was the spotlight of the event we attended at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts – not because she was a professional performer but because she was a real life charming fairy who loved to sing and dance and took command of her stage in the lobby where we all enjoyed her express herself joyfully. She made me think how right it is to stop and observe children with fresh eyes whether you are in an airport, in a park or at home with the family. We can learn so much that will help bring our passing moments back in focus so we can enjoy the rest of summer ahead.
Children live in a world of imagination, wonder, and joy. They find pleasure in simple things: playful squirrels, dandelion bouquets, and dancing with wild abandon to their inner soundtrack. Joy is the essence of who they are.
Like a carefree child, one can choose to live life connected to the unbounded joy within. For example, following my bliss, I sing, I draw, I write. I play with the little ones around me. The reward? I am uplifted, inspired, and healed through joyful play.
Friday Wellness Tip: Joyful Play helps us regain control over our lives in a fun way. If you are distracted by thoughts of the past or concerns for the future, gently focus your mind to the joy of the present moment of play. As you do, stress and fear dissolve. This helps us live with the joy and wonder of a child. As a result Spanista sees the beauty in everyone and everything around me – chances are this will happen for you too. So find a child to enjoy your summer weekend of play.
To Your Self Care Journey To Joy,
