Energy of the Day
Monday, August 31, 2020 is a time for reflection and adjustment. Reflect upon something in your life that intuitively feels out of balance. Does it bring you joy? Does it leave you feeling fulfilled? If not, it’s ok to tweak it or let it go. It is a good time to deal with groups and do some brainstorming so try to have some fun on that Zoom meeting today. If you have a gut-feeling trust it. Watch the time, it may be hard to stick to your schedule. It might be refreshing to throw your schedule out altogether and follow your internal rhythm today. It is also a great day for creative work - the kind that leaves you feeling most yourself.

Experience Joyful Creativity
Adults may not remember what type of creative work nourishes them, but kids know. Take some time out today to allow your kids to mess around with some paint or whatever nourishes their spirits. This is going to be even more important for you if you don’t immediately have an idea of what creative activity fills you with joy. If you don’t know, try something new. Experience the joy of novelty, imperfection, and creation. Perhaps you could write somebody a letter. Maybe you want to turn out the lights, turn up the music, and dance. (Kids love doing this as a family.) But if you know exactly what I meant when I suggested you do something that makes you feel most yourself - do that. Pay attention to, and be grateful for, the joy you experience while doing it.
