It’s so easy to get caught up in wanting to feel responsible and productive. We can be those things while still finding ways to enjoy life in between all of our efforts. This episode talks about choosing silly over seriousness.
This weekend, I got a call from my friend who never calls people (he’s a texter). I worried at first if something was wrong, then my friend shared the exciting news of having tickets to an awesome event described as the “Cirque du Soleil of baseball.” He shared that he wanted to go with someone he thought he’d have fun with and that I came to mind. To me, that’s such a lovely compliment and I’m glad I said YES without overthinking it.
I’m here to spend quality solo time with you for EP180’s Wise Walk as we discover our True Stride. Initially, I asked for 10 minutes to process the opportunity since I had so much to do, but then I remembered to prioritize fun. That was the final nudge I needed to go enjoy the event with my friend!
On our Wise Walk, I talk about how many times we pass up silly, fun moments for something serious. Give yourself a moment to choose what will light you up and spark your child-like curiosity. Come with me as we reflect on these Wise Walk questions:
-
- Where in your life can you choose silly over seriousness?
- Where in life can you say “Yes” to stepping outside your norm?
- How can you embrace more child-like opportunities to have fun and play?
- Can you get playful with finding your child-like curiosity?
Sometimes we need a simple reminder to lighten up. Ask yourself and loved ones if they’ve visited their child-like joy lately.
Joyful, playful, fun moments are waiting for you. Step into your child-like rhythm of curiosity with these Wise Walk questions:
-
- How can you explore playful ways to deal with unexpected delays?
- Can you use playfulness to elevate your vibration and experience?
- When’s the last time you were spontaneous enough to explore a fun experience without knowing what it’d exactly be like?
- Do you allow yourself to accompany people when they’re exploring fun and adventure?
- Can you dig deeper into your silly side?
