You can listen to this on my podcast - 7:01 mins

In the US, the holiday season has officially started. Over the weekend my hubby, TD and I were in Columbia, TN visiting his family. TD’s great niece, Leliana will be three this week and she was full of energy and brought a lot of joy to the household. If I could just get little of that energy! Lol.

It’s always a blast to be around young children to watch how they engage with people and the world around them. Spending time around her reminded me of one of the topics in my book, Why Struggle? life is too short to wear tight shoes, Think Like a Child.

Take a listen and let me know your thoughts.

Think like A Child

Do you remember the last time you laughed until you cried? When was the last time you were really curious about how something worked? When was the last time you looked at something and were amazed? A young child has a unique outlook on life and can help you remember how awesome life is.

Children are born with a natural curiosity about everything. Having children in your life can help

you become a more creative problem solver, learn to accept the inevitable, and laugh at yourself more. Young children help you remember a sense of awe. Being around children and younger people allow you to see life through different eyes.

Take time to really watch, listen and learn from the young people in your life. Wisdom is not limited to a certain age.

Practice: Spend the day with a child between the ages of two and six years old. Go to a park with no specific agenda. Observe the child and notice how they are amazed at the simple things that adults have taken for granted. The next time you need to solve a problem, think like a child.

Affirmation: I celebrate the spirit of the child in my heart.

If you spent time around a young child lately, what did you notice? You may reply to this newsletter/blog post or you can reach me at [e-mail]. If social media is easier for you to reach out, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn are best.

The card I pulled for us today from my Relax, Listen and Trust Your Inner Guidance Card Deck

#3 TRUST - My INNER GUIDANCE takes me where I need to be NEXT. Well, I find that to be very true. My guidance led me to create all the products I have, including this card deck. This is a one of a kind deck that I won’t be reproducing, so grab your deck before they are sold out.
