Feed Your Self Some Fun

JUST FOR TODAY:  Remember what you used to do for fun when you were "just a kid," and bring that fun back into your life!

Read a Dr. Seuss book, swing on a park swing, go fly a kite!  What did you do for fun when you were young?  Make a list of the toys, games and activities that you can recall.  Play-doh, lite-brite, tonka-toys.  Candyland, Monopoly, Clue.  Roller-skates, pogo-sticks, hula-hoops.  Remember the great times you had, and think about how you can bring that joy into your daily life.  If you had an easy-bake oven and used to enjoy baking, you can bake something special to recreate that experience.  If you used to love playing board games, you can host a game night for your friends.  If you were a bookworm, you can go to the library and check out some of your old favorites to re-read.  Let FUN be a regular part of your routine of Intuitive Self-Care.  Why is this important?  Because when you feed your Self some fun, there is no need for excess food.  

"If you never did, you should.  These things are fun, and fun is good."  
– Dr. Seuss
