Be A Happy Kid Regardless Of Your Age

Spiritual romance will never be possible, but you deserve it. Ultimately, she decided to embrace herself and her unique beauty and not focus on youth, even though she was bombarded by images of it every day from the media. June was marching to the beat of her own drum in more ways than one. She returned to a favorite hobby, playing the drums, and ended up joining a retirees rock band! She was living and enjoying life, and she noticed that the more she threw herself headfirst into life, the more alive she felt. Her grown kids were proud and lovingly amused. She was happy and had found her way into her next stage of life as a wise woman. Age can ripen your body, mind, heart, and spirit to a gorgeous sheen of experienced perfection. You’ve learned what makes you happy. You know what warms your soul. You know more about what enlivens you. Now all you need to do is commit to it. What are three things you can do this week to embrace who you are and joyfully own your age and experience as the valuable assets they are? They could be things like getting back to a favorite hobby, as June did.

Not Afraid

Maybe you love clothes and shopping and can help a friend find the perfect outfit for her big presentation. Perhaps you could volunteer to mentor young people in your field or coach a little league team if you were a sports star in high school. What would be your version of June’s return to the drums? How can you commit to doing one of these ideas this week? What steps will you take? In order to embrace yourself at any age, you need to reconnect to your inner wellspring of vitality. Youth has nothing to do with true inner vitality. That comes from within, and joy multiplies it. This will help us experience true liveliness and vivacity. Children live in an unfiltered state. They let you know what they like and what they don’t. Isn’t that refreshing? For the most part, no one has to guess what a child thinks about something. What if you adopted the traits of a happy child? What would you say that you otherwise wouldn’t? The only rule is it must be kind. Besides that, why not tell your friend you don’t like peas before she cooks dinner, instead of being nice and pushing them around your plate later? You know what else kids do? They repeat what feels good and is fun. They run through the sprinkler on a hot day over and over and over because it’s fun.

Deep in the Heart

They don’t think, Oh, I should go start the laundry or I really ought to go wash the car today. They go for it. They relentlessly seek fun and you should too, no matter if you are ten years old or one hundred years old. Kids choose healthy fun because that’s what they know. Embrace wisdom and relentlessly pursue joy, and you can live agelessly. I choose spiritual romance. I am sacred! Reawaken the sacred in your love life and find the joy in romance. In this case spiritual doesn’t mean religious. It means conscious, mindful. You probably like to explore different forms of spirituality, like Chinese medicine and Taoism, Ayurveda and Hindu culture, or Unity Churches. To practice spiritual romance, four things must be in place. Do this by treating yourself like a treasured lover or a cherished family member, with ultimate love and kindness.

Left In The Dark

Strengthen yourself to attract the best dates and relationships and have the most fun. Your life, including your love life, grows more meaningful when you love yourself. By loving yourself, you take the need out of relationships. Instead, you are happy and fulfilled on your own, and a great date or relationship is just the icing on the cake. Your presence enhances your partner’s fulfilling life and vice versa, and then you have a healthy relationship. Second, you must consider yourself sacred. You can create a happy, healthy life by remembering that you are sacred. To do this, only make choices that honor your sacredness one hundred percent. Talk to yourself with respect and honor. Act and live the fact that you are sacred. If you consider yourself sacred, you know you can trust yourself. You know that you are going to make great decisions that honor you. In that way, you can feel emotionally safe. You can create that for yourself. One of the pillars of a strong, successful life as a single person or as part of a couple is being able to have faith and trust in yourself. When you consider yourself sacred and choose actions that support that truth, you reinforce the inner belief that you truly can trust yourself. You create truth and inner strength within you. That translates into confidence and emotional safety, which then become comfort with yourself and your world. Third, you must consider your romantic partner to be sacred. If you can’t see your partner as sacred, then they aren’t the right person for you. You can create a pleasant, loving relationship by remembering your partner is sacred and not settling for someone who doesn’t see your sacredness. Sacredness is the key! Romantic partners must see themselves and you as sacred. Be observant and notice how your partner talks about her or himself. How does your partner treat you? Does she or he really listen, and is she or he fully present? Does he or she treat you with complete respect? Those are starting points to determine if she or he sees you and herself or himself as sacred. Listen to your intuition. You will be able to sense the vibe pretty easily. If your partner does not clearly see you as sacred, move on. Choose a fun night out with friends instead or go to an art opening or yoga workshop. Cherish your sacredness and hold out for that in any potential relationships.
