Immerse Yourself in Possibility

In moments of uncertainty, when you must choose between two paths, allowing yourself to be overcome by either the fear of failure or the dimly lit light of possibility, immerse yourself in the life you would be most proud to live. ~ Adam Braun

Play is an essential aspect of life that seems to fall out of the picture as we get older. My suggestion is to re-focus your priorities and include play in your life.

Each person deserves a day away. Period. It’s not a competition to see how much you have accomplished to deserve a day away. You deserve a day away because you do. Now that we have that all cleared up, what would you add to the list for your day away?

Is it possible to be confident in following your feelings? Who criticizes your emotions more…others or yourself? When did it become taboo to feel your emotions?

As a predominantly introverted person, I adore solitude. I love being alone and allowing my day to unfold or fully engaging in what I intend to do. I don’t have a fear of missing out on activities. I am completely content filling my day with whatever inspires me or tugs at my heart strings. I experience joy in a broad range of activities, too; anything from singing and dancing around my house to journaling to spending time in nature.

There are many different types of support: emotional, moral, spiritual, physical, and mental support. They can be interrelated yet uniquely individual. Support is not about ‘fixing’ a situation or taking on the responsibility for another person. I like to think of it as a boost…imagine interlaced fingers, cupped hands, and someone placing their foot in your hand. The boost of support is like a sprinkle of fairy dust, revealing your own inner magic.

The most important person to foster a healthy relationship with is yourself. It’s easy to spend a lot of time and energy fostering relationships with others and overlook the one with yourself. When you have a healthy relationship with yourself, it makes all other relationships easier. What building blocks are you using to foster a relationship with yourself?

It can be very easy to let the to-do list of tasks guide your day. What if there was a shift in perspective? What if you allowed your mindfulness to guide your day and the to-do list to simply exist? It may seem like a hair-splitting twist of semantics, which it is, but it also offers a fresh way to experience your day.
