When I first started to really focus on my personal and spiritual growth, my life seemed to go through a lot up of upheaval. I was feeling emotions that I had successfully avoided for most of my life. The things that I thought were so important to my happiness started to lose their allure. And, many of the relationships in my life started to shift and some even drifted away. At the time, I am not sure I would have called it FUN.

 

But in hind-sight, I realize that is exactly what it was!

 

As kids we think of fun as a stimulant that comes from an external adventure, new toy or something that makes us laugh from the bottom of our bellies. As adults, many times the things that bring the most enjoyment or fun, are more personal and intimate. That does not mean a good roller-coaster ride isn’t fun. It means that a lasting sense of the energies of fun, come from our internal awareness of what feeds our mind, body and spirit.

 

When I think about spirituality now and what it means to me… It is the ability to experience whatever is going on in any given moment and to respond in a way that is real and authentic to my own personal guidance~my own internal (higher) guidance. And living life from this place is fun! It is filled with surprises, synchronicity, and deep connection to others. The kind of connection you can only achieve if you are willing to be yourself at all times. It makes the exploration of SELF, self-propelling. Adventures feel so much more rewarding when you’re growing and you’re having fun (even if sometimes that means confronting old emotions, letting go of something that once held value or shedding some tears)!

 

How about you~are you having fun? Is there anything you are holding as “work” or “hard” that actually belongs in the fun category! Here is to shifting into a new, more enjoyable pattern of FUN!
