For me most mornings are associated with rushing, getting ready, making breakfast, making sure everyone is OK and ready to leave the house to be socially acceptable. Those mornings where I am rushing to get everything done create stress and an illusion that there is not enough time to accomplish everything. I wanted to step away from the morning madness and start a day with playfulness and enthusiasm, rather than dreading my to do list.
This morning, instead of rushing to the kitchen to turn on the coffee machine or jump into the next item in my to do list, my daughter and I simply crawled into the couch, read a couple of books, did some spelling and had about 10 minute bubble fun. Who thought that making bubbled in the morning can be so much fun? We changed the energy of the day. Hurry is an energy that we fuel the body, playfulness is another vibration we can fuel the body yet what a difference it makes.
We took the playfulness into the kitchen and chopped strawberries and bananas for the oatmeal, admired the process of water boiling and laughed when she spilled some strawberries on the floor. Consequence was a fun morning, joyful breakfast and she couldn't be happier to go the daycare. We even had enough time to take picture of her new outfit for the grandparents.
It's really about what kind of energy you are running in the body. If you want get everything done perfectly or if you are rushing to get things done, it may create tension and stress in your body . I believe that we can accomplish even more when we are not stressing the body with demands and when we are running such a light energy as playfulness. Children know a lot about the energy of play. I think it's OK to match them from time to time. It truly make things easier and more fun.
Now, I am writing and even though I lost my first article and had to write another one, I am calm and full of enthusiasm about what today is going to bring into my doorsteps.
