Some people feel like the start of a new year is a new start for their lives, or at least for what mistakes and difficulties the previous year happened to hold. I'd like to say that I am one of these people...I want to take every chance I get, grasp every dream and instead of holding it close, I want to let it fly. I've heard the saying that you're supposed to let go of what you love and if it comes back to you it is truly yours, if it doesn't, then it never was. Well, its the same for dreams, I wanna let 'em fly. I'm reading this book/life guideline/biography type thing, and she's always talking about how to truly live. And sometimes its includes letting out your inner child. Laughter is a medicine, and a real smile can nurture wounds.
Wear red, it encourages passion.
Take naps, sleep is healing.
Play on a swing set, better to have poor knees than a poor heart.
If you feel like doing something crazy, just do it! The things we regret most in life aren't things we do but things we don't do.
Close your eyes and pretend to be flying, it opens the soul.
Face a fear, control your fear so it can't control you. (Unless its about spiders :P)
Cut or dye your hair, it will eventually grow back or fade but will leave behind a healthy douse of spontaneity.
Sleep outside, learn to experience the unknown.
Name a star.
Talk to an imaginary friend.
Try on something you'd never wear.
Give a stranger a hug.
Pick flowers and put them in your hair.
Break out in dance and song whenever you feel like it.
Don't let the status qo define you...Stop just trying to learn to live, and begin living.
