There was a time when you were a little kid that you would grab sheets, cardboard boxes, brooms, lamps, pets, empty porn VHS boxes and build forts. You know what I'm talking about...the little self made "club house" where you would live out your tiny adventures, play with toys and general pretend like nothing else existed outside of that fort.
What happened to that?
You grew up. The imaginative, open, shrek looking, E.T. smelling, popsicle licking, little booger caved in to the pencil pushing, jerk-off that is reading this now :)
Too harsh? maybe...
anyways...I ask you to consider how to get it back. Day in and day out you go to work, play the weekly groundhog day, go home and maybe get a moments breath before doing it again. But it doesn't have to be like that. You can be more than that. You can build your fort where you are the master of it's story.
I ask you to create a space. A ritual area where you can be more than what you thought...make it "bath time" at night...make it, "meditation time in the afternoon" make it so that in your home in the morning or evening, you can zone out and sit in your mind.
Talk to yourself, talk out loud, talk in random voices, practice a southern accent, in your mind create a show where you are a ballet dancer, pretend to be a juggler, laugh, laugh, laugh at yourself. Play in your imagination...
This is your clubhouse, this is your sheet and cardboard tent. Only in sitting with imagination and floating in your head will you be able to truly start finding a different level of connection to yourself and the world around you.
Start today!
Do not think you're "crazy" for talking to yourself..
Do not think you're not "doing it right"...
Do not think you're "above it"
DO think that Psych! is amazing (that's me)
DO think he is sexy...oh wait...
I meant..
Do think that you cannot do it enough...
DO think that it can make you feel more happy and complete
Do think that you have time for it
Do have fun!
Build the clubouse folks...
