Play play play! When we play, we can let go of a challenge and engage in something that frees our mind, lightning strikes.

Play opens pathways for creativity to flow.  When we play we engage the heart rather than leading with our mind. When we let go, engage in pure play and laughter can the universe's message meet us. Be open and receptive to your life's purpose.  Cultivate your creativity through pure simple joy.

As adults, we get caught up in our responsibilities we forget to engage in play.  It may seem silly to some but there is something powerful about enjoying an activity freely, boundless, and worry free.

When we let go of our worries, our perceptions of the future, enjoy the present moment, the Universe will bring us answers.  Play is a time to engage in an activity which lifts your spirit.  Play is YOUR time to let your heart be full and let go of your worries and concerns. When we let go and have fun, we release our ego and all the "shoulds" and "can'ts" that flood our mind. Play is important in finding our purpose.

Rest and play are not luxuries, they are part of our being.  We cultivate some of our best ideas when we have a balance of rest and play. Rest is important.  (I cherish my rest and people tease me about being an old lady but I need my rest! This world is running me ragged, I do what I can to be my best self.) In our society, some people pride themselves on not getting enough rest, it makes them feel important that they have so many responsibilities they don't have time for themselves.  They have many dedications and responsibilities.  True dedication is balance.

Sometimes it's hard to follow our passions. The world has many distractions but in silence, in stillness, we can hear what our heart says. Even when life is hard, when we do things that light up our hearts, we are on the path on which we belong.

This life is the only life we will know.  Why not do the things that light up our life? Play more. Worry less.
