Power to be Playful- Part 3…
Play

Hi EveryOne,

Wow end of March already, where does the time go?… You know people often think that time is continually speeding up but if you think about it rationally, time is change and neither time or change can speed up. What CAN speed up is the pace of change. It’s like watching nature through a movie projector that has been fast forwarded, nature itself doesn’t speed up but our perception through the fast forward button does! My point is, it’s not easy to stay playful when my perception is that ‘I don’t have time!’ If I don’t have time, I don’t have the ability to change, and if I believe that I can’t change then I will definitely get stressed out!… But more on this topic in our upcoming WonderFull Living Newsletter for April…

Some amazing contributions once again, many were finding this power very challenging… So remember, don’t beat yourself up but be proud of recognising that something needs to shift – no matter how slight, in order to change our perspective of life… Even when you catch yourself being too serious, for example, and to be able to see the funny side – is playful… So pat yourselves on the back, recognition is a huge step forward – we can’t change what we don’t recognise (or are unwilling to look at 🙂 – so congratulations and well done!… Also an extra encouragement for those who didn’t feel like contributing but did anyway! Hats off to you :)… You may not realise but it’s those times in particular, when transformation takes place, in a bigger (though subtler) form. Never underestimate your abilities or a ‘simple contribution’… The effort is where the transformation lies – keep going, you’re all doing so incredibly well 🙂

– Some were able to use this power to support others going through tough times. Supporting brothers, mothers, friends, sisters, husbands, in-laws – by remaining playful (light) and cooperative while taking care of their own wellbeing, to remain able to stay supportive of them. Also, doing something pleasurable (ie going for walks, going for nice breakfast – away from the stressful situation, going for drive to the beach……………… (Wow, fantastic identification of a special need, so beautiful!)

– For some this power has apparently come at the perfect time – a reminder they found helpful……………… (Yes, I need reminding as well, glad it’s helped 🙂

– This power has served as confirmation for some that they are actually already on the right path and allowed them to simply continue……………….. (Sooooo wonderful to hear 🙂

– Quite a few found this power a struggle. Showing them that they have not been as playful as they could be and letting situations get the better of them……………….(Everything has a reason, a season and a purpose – it’s ALL good 🙂

– Recognition of not being as playful as they would like but remaining quiet to observe, as a means to not blame others and stay mindful ………………………….. (This is fantastic 🙂

– Some still battling anxiety and depression but still attempting to have a go…………………. (Wow, this is so beautiful, hang in there – you have my support – my powers help me with anxiety and depression 🙂

– Some have been reflecting on ‘responding’ and accepting what they can’t change……………… (Fantastic, this is more powerful than you probably realise 🙂

– Still, more saying it’s timing is perfect due to having become to serious but still working on trying different things………….. (Wonderful!)

– I received several emails from members who’ve not contributed before, just to let me know they do read it and do practice and do gain benefit…………………………. (So thank you, it’s so great how we are becoming a small community – albeit online. Over 300 on this list now and over 500 on the WonderFull Living Newsletter list. So lovely to have you all on board. It’s nice to know we don’t have to do this work alone 🙂
