Joy in our Practice

June 15, 2021

A friend gave me a card deck of mindfulness cards.  Each day I pull 1 out and reflect on it.  I am always surprised with how this random act, seems to provide exactly what I need to hear on any given day.  I wanted to share today’s card with all of you.

The Value of Playfulness

For many people, mindfulness can seem like more work- another chore, like exercise or brushing or teeth, which we grudgingly do because we know its good for us.  But the magic happens when we approach mindfulness with creativity, playfulness and delight. Try to spend 20 minutes today engaging in playfulness- whether is writing a funny poem for a friend, dress up in a silly outfit, dancing to your favorite music or goofing around with a pet in the park.  The playful mind is an open mind, and cultivating playful experiences will lead to a more joyful experience of life.
