An upbeat and silly mood can help you unwind today, even if you are burdened with many obligations at work and at home. It is likely that you will find many opportunities to smile and laugh with your loved ones and colleagues as you make your way through your busy schedule. Be wary, however, that your desire for play can overshadow your need to fulfill your obligations today if you are not careful. You can ensure that the young-at-heart frame of mind that you enjoy does not interfere with your responsibilities by making a conscious decision to indulge in play only when you can fit it into your agenda without disrupting your day.

True maturity is not a matter of avoiding all that is childlike, but rather of knowing when we can safely lose ourselves in play without compromising our prospects. Grown people can benefit from frequent forays into a more lighthearted place of being because they must face such rigorous circumstances in their day to day lives. Just as turning away from responsibility to indulge in recreational pursuits can interfere with our potential, so too can making time for playful activities increase our chances of realizing those dreams most important to us. When we make fun a part of our lives, we can better cope with all of the stresses that modern existence endeavors so industriously to heap upon our shoulders. You will feel young at heart and wonderfully energized today when you allow yourself to enjoy the pleasures of play in between your mundane duties.
