What happens when you let fifty gurus into your home via the internet?  Answer:  Your brain gets overrun with groovy possibilities.

They are all brilliant, they all have something to offer, and they all say I need them right now.  Suddenly I am spinning and crazed. I’m not having fun anymore and my goal is to have fun every day, since every day just might be my last.

Yuck.  How did I let this happen?  To whom did I give away my fun and how can I get it back?

A Note About Fun

I believe Fun is a grossly underrated spiritual practice.  We trust seriousness and overwork and being stressed and overcommitted.  We even brag about how busy we are.  But tell people you believe in having fun and they will often say something about how life is serious and we can’t always have fun.

I’m legally blind.  I know it can’t always be fun.  But the sooner I get my pain to migrate to my funny bone, the sooner I will regain my perspective, and the sooner my brain will work well again.  I take fun very seriously.

Enter Real Life

How do we build a business, run a home, raise loving, responsible children, and succeed in our career while staying centered and happy? I am committed to living these questions and the answers out loud.

Radical Releasing: Unsubscribe.

Here is one way to create more space in your brain and your life: Cut two or three newsletters you are getting. Even if you aren’t opening them, they are taking up space in your Inbox and in your psyche. Unsubscribe even if they are fabulous, (I just cut Jack Canfield!). Too much of a great thing is still too much.

Cut back and breathe deep! Get your life and your sanity back!  Unsubscribe from me if you are not getting great benefit from my newsletters.  Yes, go to the bottom of the page right now and unsubscribe if your inner voice of wisdom is telling you to do that.

I walk my talk.

It’s easy to say no to stuff that doesn’t serve us. It is much harder to say no to the good stuff, the great stuff, especially when all these great people seem to be hollering that you need what they have right now. RIGHT NOW!  Sign up now or you are missing the one and only opportunity that will ever come your way.

Yuck, once again.

I’m susceptible to urgency, because I am a recovering urgency addict. I have learned I cannot trust urgency. That push of “Now! Now! Must do it now!” does not serve me.

I am starting a movement, a Joy Revolution, and I am getting my message out with integrity and without urgency. I have anointed myself the Queen of Anti-Urgency, the Queen of Self-Expression, and a Master of fun.  Ha!  Who can stop me?

Free Week of Joy

Do not sign up for this unless you need some practice re-calibrating yourself to focusing on joy rather than on your To Do list.

But if you want some help getting joy in your life now, click here: http://www.daringtobejoyful.com/freeweekofjoy/. Again, don’t sign up unless you hear something inside you that says, “Ah! I’m parched and this feels like fresh spring water.”

There is no rush. There is no rush.  Unless someone is bleeding from an artery or cannot breathe, there is no rush!

Blessings and May the Joy Be With You,

Vicki
