You may feel lighthearted and in good spirits today. Perhaps you're thinking about ways to escape your daily routine, get out, and have some fun by adding a bit of whimsy to your normal activities. If your schedule has been hectic lately, a desire for play could indicate a need to let go of work and enjoy life more. By embracing this lighthearted attitude and allowing it room to express itself in your life, you will go a long way toward meeting your need for play. Playfulness can also enhance your imagination when engaging in creative pursuits, so you might want to write, draw, paint, sculpt, or simply daydream. The important thing is to honor your desire to be playful today rather than squelch your feelings.

By honoring our need for creative expression and playfulness, we can benefit from increased enjoyment and vitality. As adults, we may feel guilty about having fun when there is work to be done. Our desire to play and express our creativity, however, often indicates a deeper need for freedom and relaxation. If we can honor these feelings rather than push them away, we become happier, stronger, and more balanced people. We then have more energy to channel toward other areas of our lives. If you embrace your playful mood today, you can create a sense of enjoyment and fun that will positively affect all areas of your life.
