Why am I resisting play? ππΎββοΈβ¨π§Ώ
|
Dear members β I was going to write a post about the shame around some of the memories of my father's passing. I realised that wasn't my medicine for this week. β I want to remember the moments of play with him. The BBQ with a water-fight. The silliness of him not remembering the right things from the super market. Going to Tesco's to get micromachines. β We never played enough. Life got too serious too quickly. Something I am devoted to NOT happening with my own son. With any devotion, it's practice. And play requires that intention and practice for me. I resist play because.. It distances me and that isolation feels safe. Allows me to live in my mind. It makes me feel self-worthy as i'm 'doing'. There's pleasure in feeling anxious (yes I own it). I am living into my To Do List. β When I play.. There are infinite possibilities. I bring energy to every part of my life. A rebellion starts and people follow. (Anyone who went on a night out with me in my 20/30s can vouch for that) I live into my Creation List not my To Do List. Work and life is always more energised. ALWAYS. β It's easier to resist play.. I'm meant to be an 'adult' Who decided what an adult should be like? Probably the industrial revolution! β Gosh. I am so glad I asked myself this question Why am I resisting play? β How did life get so serious? How did life feel so serious? How will I look at life, to make it feel more playful? How will I look at life differently? Where are MY possibilities for play? β Come talk to me sometime about play - https://calendly.com/mo-belonging-people/connectβ Today I remember Play Today I remember I know how to play! β Will you remember? β If this resonated... The next 5 days are the last chance to join the last cohort of the Dragonfly Collective, There will be no more additional cohorts. In 2025, I shift towards inspiring leaders one:one and igniting teams. My dad would never turn someone away because of money, so if you are paying out of your own pocket, let's talk. There's some questions at the end of this email, to show the power of the conversations we have. It's all about courage, clarity, impact and energy. If you want to join the collective, let's have a chat next week - https://calendly.com/mo-belonging-people/connectβ β And a song.. β
