“Each moment is limited, fleeting, precious. Let’s not waste another one. Let’s live each moment, in love with life.” – Leo Babauta, on the ZenHabits blog
Your Day 17 Making Time challenge:
For 17 minutes… do something silly you loved doing when you were young
Building dens, making robots out of cardboard boxes, doing jigsaws, going on bike rides, creating sock puppets, putting on dance shows, writing stories, face painting, potato printing, wearing fancy dress, baking gingerbread men, colouring in, building sandcastles, setting up obstacle courses, making rose perfume, having water balloon fights, organising treasure hunts… kids have so much fun!
When we were little everything was about ‘play’ – we were open to everything and we’d use our imaginations, be curious and invent things without thinking about it. Thinking creatively came naturally and it was so much fun. How great would it be if we could think this way every day in adult life too?
Today we invite you to reconnect to the magic spirit of your inner child. What were you like as a child? What did you LOVE doing when you were little? For 17 minutes do this today and enjoy being a big kid. Think you don’t have time for this? That probably means you REALLY need to do it…
