Hello.
Thank you for joining me for this week's affirmations.
Having more fun.
Don't we deserve that?
Our lives are so serious.
We have so many responsibilities.
And there was a time in our life where fun was all we cared about.
That didn't mean we were selfish or unkind.
It meant that we lived in a fun environment and created fun with everything we did.
Our sole purpose was to play and enjoy life.
And just because we've had challenges or gotten older does not mean we shouldn't have more fun in our life.
So that's why I'm dedicating this week's affirmations to just that.
What we tell ourselves creates the life that we live.
So let's start by finding ourselves in a comfortable position.
Either lying down or sitting upright in a chair.
Feet flat on the floor.
Palms at our side.
Closing our eyes.
Bring your awareness to your breath.
Maybe this is the first time today you've welcomed your breath or acknowledged it.
Exhaling all your breath out.
Let's inhale deeply for the count of four.
Inhaling two,
Three,
Four.
And exhaling for five,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
Two more times.
Inhale through the nose.
Feeling your chest rise and your stomach expand.
And a wave of relaxation as you exhale.
Breathing just a little bit deeper on your exhale.
Allowing your body to soften.
One more time together.
Inhale through the nose.
And exhale through the nose or the mouth.
Breathing naturally and normally for yourself.
Feeling a weight lifted.
Feeling life and newness,
Possibility,
Joy and hope.
Today is a new day and we create the life we want to live.
So as your body softens and relaxes,
Repeat these sentences in your mind after me.
I deserve to have a fun day.
I deserve to have a fun day.
I am exactly where I need to be to enjoy fun in my life.

I have worked hard and am capable of enjoying a fun day.

I create my future and am confident I can allow myself to have fun.

If your mind has wandered,
Come back to the breath,
Settle in,
Recommit to cultivating fun in your day.
Spend a moment visualizing what fun looks like to you.
Where is one place today that you can insert it?
Maybe during a walk or a break.
Seeing if laughter and smiles come easy.
Maybe think before you respond to a child or an animal or someone that is learning.
Allow yourself to be patient today.
Let the joy and the fun in.
Our life situations do not need to rob us of fun.
You deserve fun and joy in your life.
When you are ready,
Open your eyes,
Wiggle your fingers and your toes,
Take some deep breaths and go seek out some fun.
Thank you so much for allowing me the precious gift of your time.
Until next time,
Have fun.
