What do you DESIRE?

What do you desire? It seems like such a simple question, but when I ask my clients this question, so often I'm met with, "I don't know".  Sometimes we are so busy doing the things on our "to do" list and being there for everyone else, we don't slow down enough to ask ourselves what WE want.

Other times, we have a vague idea, but it's somewhere in the back of our minds and is put on the back burner until we finish our work or our obligations.  Sometimes this is necessary, but the reality is, many women put their desires on the back burner and they stay there.

The other thing I see women doing is keeping their desire small.  They may not ask for what they really want because they are afraid they can't have it and they are used to being disappointed.  This is understandable, but you owe it to yourself to have what you want.  When you're happy and fulfilled, your satisfaction and pleasure and happiness is contagious.  It's not just a gift for you, it's a gift for everyone who comes into contact with you.

Want to play a fun game? This is best done with a partner who is willing to play.  Find a friend, a sister, a lover, and ask them to play the Desire Pulling Game with you.  Here is what you do:

One of you asks the other, "What do you desire?" and the other person answers, "I desire ______".  (It could be anything from chocolate, to a hot air balloon ride, to a trip to Italy with a gloved chauffeur to take you and your man (or woman) around the town.  There are no limits here, and it can also be something simple like a vanilla latte.  The key is to be as specific as possible.  Then the first person says, "Thank you". and you begin again.  You can go for 3 minutes each or as long as you like!  You'll be surprised at what happens!  But whether or not you get your desires right away is not the point.  The point is to feel into that space and to allow your body to be lit up by the fun of thinking of your desires and playing the game.  Trust me, you will love it!

Let me know what you desire and how the game goes for you in the comments below!

What did you do for fun today?

It's important to have fun.  Not only is it important because it raises your quality of life, but adding play to your life can enhance all areas; your relationships, your finances, your health, the list goes on and on.

When you add play to your life, it can be in the form of things you do for yourself or it can be something you do with friends and family.  

You can even find ways to make boring tasks or jobs that you need to finish fun by adding some friendly competition with coworkers, or adding fun music and dancing, joking while you work, etc.

Adding play to your life will also raise your mood and the mood of others around you.  It's a win-win.

Post in the comments below some of the ways you like to add play to your day!
