The weekend comes and often that’s our permission slip to allow some Fun and Joy into our ‘HECTIC’ (fav new age word) schedules.
Maybe we make social plans with friends, get out in nature, attend kids parties, binge on Netflix, wine and dine, date, renovate, adventure somewhere?
Or maybe we don’t?!
Maybe life’s ‘hectic’ness’ has us tied up doing important tasks, jobs, cleaning, prepping, working, chasing our tails and the clock.
Life looks colourfully different for all of us, there is no one way to move through this EPIC (second fav new age word) journey called life.
Yet what certainly keeps me sane and feeling a sense of connection to anyone and everyone, is that we all still share the same opportunities when it comes to OUR attitude!
Our attitude connects us as human beings, allowing us to CHOOSE with our thoughts and hearts the way in which we show up and interact with life.
As I woke up this morning, I chose that I was going to apply one of my favourite Life Lip Balms, the one that counteracts seriousness, planning and over thinking!
This soothing and playful balm is called ‘Spontaneity’! It’s delicious and leaves you with a glossy smile from ear to ear.
Spontaneity does not need to be grandiose, it can be applied minimally or abundantly depending on your desire and lifestyle.
- Maybe it’s creating some space in your morning routine and doing a fun 10 minute fitness class from YouTube
- Or a random free family outing in your local community
- If you’re an inside body, taking yourself by the hand and venturing outdoors – allowing yourself to wander
- If you’re an outdoors body, then I say stay outdoors and go explore something new- a park, beach, hike, river, market
- Cooking for 5 or for 1- create a new meal with LOVE and attention- you’re so worth it
- Listening to a Podcast on something completely new that you’re kinda interested in
- Or connecting with someone you’ve some how become disconnected from
- Booking that trip you’ve been dreaming about, yeah you know the one I am talking about
This free Life Lip Balm lives in your back pocket and is yours to apply at anytime.
Just a little F.Y.I. though…there are three things I’ve noticed that toughens the lid on this particular Lip Balm:
- ‘Over planning’. You can’t have the space to be spontaneous when you suffocate your life with PLANS. A little less planning equals a lot more living!
- ‘Over thinking it’. Spontaneity is an internal experience generated by an active feeling to do/try/explore/learn something new. Yes you use your mind in the process, but the feeling comes first and your job is to say YES (safely of course) and go for it!
- ‘Having expectations of the outcome’. Sometimes I’ve done things spontaneously and followed a feeling and it’s turned out fabulous. And, sometimes I’ve followed an inkling and instead it’s felt kinda weird/different/awkward etc. Lightening up on yourself and the experience makes things so much more enjoyable- it’s a win win everytime.
So.….
I invite you to have some fun playing with your trusty delicious Lip Balm sitting in your back pocket ‘Spontaneity’!
Free yourself (ever so slightly) from your routine and experience the life that is unfolding in front of you as a gift to be enjoyed, because it is and you just might bloody LOVE it!
But only if you choose yeah? You always get to have that choice, promise!
Simply blissful
