As a kid, you were your most free, unfiltered, joyous, pure self. It's only as you started to grow up that you are told stories about what you “should” be doing, or not doing, or how you should look and behave and be. 
 
Then you start to get confused and feel as though the person you are is not “good enough". So you try to fit into the box of the “perfect” child, teenager, adult, daughter, staff member, girlfriend, wife, mother….
 
It's fucking exhausting and its little wonder that you might be feeling a bit lost about who you truly are and what you deeply desire. You might feel as though life is good but there's still a little niggle that something is missing. 
 
As a way of starting to reclaim your true authentic sweet little you I invite you to think about this question:
 
What was your favourite thing to do as a child? 
 
Was it: 

• Playing in the backyard?
• Dancing?
• Twirling and spinning around until you were dizzy?
• Making up plays?
• Singing into your hairbrush?
• Hunting for tadpoles?
• Doing cartwheels or handstands?
• Playing with Rainbow Brite, Barbie or Care Bears?
• Making mud pies?
• Or something else entirely?

 
Now that you've worked out what it was, my next question to you is, when was the last time you did it?
 
Was it:

• Today?
• Yesterday?
• Last week?
• Last month?
• Last year?
• 10 years ago?

 
My third question is, why did you stop doing it?
 
Was it because:

• You 'got too old' to do it?
• You were shamed for it?
• You felt as though you 'should' stop?
• You were laughed at?
• It was no longer 'cool'?
• You didn't have the time for it?
• You didn't have the money to keep doing it?

 
My last question to you is this, what's stopping you from doing it now?
 
This is your permission slip to go do IT with no judgement or shame. Go and embrace your inner you and PLAY!
