You may feel a strong desire to play today. A lighthearted mood could cause you to work through your responsibilities as quickly as possible so that you can spend the rest of your time engaging in more enjoyable pursuits. You may enjoy spending time with children more than usual or participating in fun group activities. If you feel torn between your obligations and your longing for play, consider making the most of your time by treating your duties as games. Find opportunities to challenge yourself as you move through your day or challenge a loved one or acquaintance to a short game. Today can be a perfect day to gather the people you care about in your home for an afternoon or evening of cards or board games.

Letting your inner child express itself can help you achieve a lightheartedness that warms your soul and positively colors your life experience. Because the demands placed on us by the modern world are so rigorous, we often forget the importance of play. Play is not only enjoyable but also useful. It can help you adapt to new situations and learn new skills. When you allow yourself to behave in a childlike manner, you release yourself from your daily routine. Giving in to your urge to play and be playful helps you cast off the tension that builds up within you during your day-to-day life in order to nurture buoyancy within your spirit. Giving in to your desire to play today will cheer you and make your day more fun.
