#1 What’s most important about this is that you find a way to
PLAY ALONE!
Â
Many of us have ways to play that require other people.
Â
So, if playing Scrabble or Monopoly is awesome for you, but you can never get that second and third person on board… You go without!
Â
Check and see that whatever you consider your “go to” form of play, allows you to decide YOU wanna play without having to go enroll anybody else.
Â
Something that you can pull out and do in 10 or 15 minutes.
Â
I play puzzle and hidden object games on my iPad. :-)
Â
They’re normally $7 dollars each but I know if I wait, near all holidays, they always go for half-price! I buy 2 to 4 games on sale and then PLAY my way through them.
Â
I want you to notice that what I consider “play” is still active for my brain.
That’s OK!
Â
It relaxes and restores me because my ability to solve the hidden object puzzle IS NOT directly connected to whether anyone’s marriage survives, a child resumes loving her mother or an Alpha steps out of depression.
Â
My Play gives me “problems“ to solve that are easy and light.
Â
Set yourself up for success Alphas!
Â
#2 I saved the easiest one for last.
Â
Play music! But not just any music. You should know the one or two songs that really “get you up. “
Â
These songs are the hero anthem of your heart. The energy, the tempo, the sound, the words, all bundled together, they lift you.
Â
It is soo Self Loving to keep yourself connected to that small handful of songs that speak through your soul.
Â
I want you to note these songs do not have to be positive.
Â
A song that deeply deeply moves you, to express something inside of you,
even if that’s something is darker… is self loving.
Â
PLAY. Give yourself permission and time.
Â
Play a game or tune in to one of your own Power Anthems. Â
You don’t need a $500 spa day to say “I love you to yourself!” Â
