[ 2. PLAY ]

RECONNECT WITH YOUR INNER CHILD. LIGHTEN UP. FIND A SENSE OF WHIMSY AND WONDER IN ALL THAT YOU DO.

Playing is the most natural way that children and animals learn. We envy that children get lost in play so easily.
Living in the moment—being non-attached to memories of the past and worries of the future—is simply a state of mind. As such, children and some animals are natural Zen masters.
We could relearn this state as adults so as to function and serve others (and ourselves) with a lighter heart. It would be a blessed life if we could play every day! So why don't we?
It may be time to ask what activity would reconnect you to the here-and-now in the quickest way, something that makes you feel focused, effective, relaxed, and joyful. Give yourself a new hobby that brings you to that state, or to work out ways to bring this quality of emotional pay-off to your work.
If all else fails, simply look to your children, your pets, or the fairies for company. They understand play very well.
