Stop taking life so seriously. This is something I have been told multiple times in my life. I am someone who likes structure, a plan. I put pressure on myself to do things at a high level. To make sure everything is perfect and I have it all figured out before I do something. And if I don’t think I can do it, I don’t do it. This year I have been challenged to play more. To tap into my child-like side. I have been pondering this idea. I thought about snowboarding and was asking myself why I love it so much. What I discovered is that I feel so free, so playful, as though I am a child on an epic playground! It brings me so much joy and it’s because I am being playful and child-like. I think some of us grew up too fast. I think back to my childhood and it’s true, I grew up too fast. I wanted to be viewed as responsible and successful that I took it upon myself to act this way even as a kid. I have always been the peacemaker in my home and I would stand up for people I felt where in need. I’ve always looked after others before myself. This was part of my identity. I was trying to be other people’s savior. I see their true potential.  This is a gift, being able to see people’s true potential, I became a life coach so I could hone in on this gift and help people discover their potential for themselves. From past experiences I’ve learned there are times I need to get out of the way for them to discover it themselves.

I’ve come up with a list of ways I can be more playful this year. Play more beach volleyball Snowboard as much as I can Join meet-up groups doing things I’m interested in such as swimming Signed up for a triathlon Painting and creating more like making birthday cards like I used to and designing my book cover! Taking a calligraphy class and actually practicing I did an episode about discovering your outlet...meaning, what’s something you can do that makes you feel refreshed, renewed, is fun and enjoyable and has nothing to do with work.  http://nikkiromani.com/2019/02/what-is-your-outlet-012/ What are some ways that come to mind for you?
