Busting the Myth that Self-Care is Selfish: 10-Week Self-Care Challenge, Week # 7
March 18, 2010 by Judith Geiger
Now that you have just spent a week being quiet in meditation I am going to ask you to add play to your day. Yes, I did say play! When was the last time you set an intention to simply play?
I opened the window here in Central NY yesterday and I could smell springtime. Here we always smell Spring long before it actually arrives. The air warms enough during the day to thaw the ground so the earth gives off this luxurious smell. It smells like a mixture between a clean laundry hung outdoors, and worms. Sorry, it is the only way I can describe it, but it takes me straight back to my childhood.
Strong Spring winds are perfect for kites. Have you ever held a kite string and felt it tug at your heart? It can take you into a magical state that allows joy to wash over you. As the wind whips and spins your kite a huge smile arises out of nowhere. The tail looks like it is dancing. It really is fun. Try it! Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4, Week 5, Week 6
“We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” ~ George Bernard Shaw
Exercise Week Seven:
PLAY! Just play at least a little bit each day. It can be anything at all that you can imagine would be fun. Some people (me included) like board games and cards. Others might bike or fly a kite. Read more
