Day 19 – PLAYFUL
Remember what it's like to approach the world with playful child-like excitement.

Jumping in puddles, skipping instead of walking, really playing with my dog, drawing on the sidewalk with chalk, just sitting down and drawing what comes to mind โค๏ธ
Day dream and dance with reckless abandon
When I was a child, I used to wake up every morning with so much hope and excitement for the new day. I used to love going to school because I knew I could find happiness in almost everything I did. But now I wake up with a groan and all I want to do is go back to sleep even if Iโm not sleepy. Today Iโll try to unleash the inner child and find some hope. Iโll channel some of the old curiosity and excitement and try to look forward to living in the present.
I tell Knock-knock jokes!
Playing games before I finish my work. It’s like I have to earn it now.
While I cannot hold a note, I love to sing. Sing out and not just in the car. I loved dancing when I was younger. It took years to take lesions and was an adult when I started. But I loved every minute of it. One part of me, I need to open myself up to fun, stop being stuffy and uptight, but let it out and have a good time. I was always like this, must change, will change.
Make mud pies ?
i remember this one time, i danced through these sprinklers in a park in toronto when i was there and i usually wouldnt do something like that for fear of feeling embarrassed or someone saying something to me. but as i am dancing through the sprinklers i have a song playing ( knock you out by bingo players watch the vid, its about leaving abuse, something i was dancing about lol ) with headphones in my ears. i felt so free, alive, i didnt care about who was watching or what was going to be said about it. i had a big smile on my face when i was done! if i ever had the chance, i would so do it again! ๐
Kids are naturally curious, something we seem to forget as adults. I want to be curious, which also means being in the present. (Being present in the present)
(I go barefoot and talk to my golden retriever on a daily basis.)
When I was little, it was almost like I didn’t really worry about things. I was really just in the moment. I felt of course, and loved and laughed and threw my fair share of tantrums, but I was completely 100% me. Now a days as a “grown up” I get caught up in what others think, or even in my own thinking. I can have a tendency to hide, to keep myself “safe.” Nice and inside of my own comfort zone. My inner child gives me the freedom to really feel authentically and completely exactly what I am going through. No covering it up because I’m worried about what someone else might think. How much of it I actually communicate remains with the grown up part of me. But focusing on my inner child today really helped with my awareness.
That’s how I feel about it Maria! When I focus on expressing that child in me I become fully in the moment and aware. Have you ever seen a child not in the present moment (at least when there’s no TV or Tablets)… I want to be like that!
Ebin, me, too!
