Does anyone else feel duped by adulthood?🫣 When you have client work, and you are comparing yourself to others in your industry, and you also have 10 personal admin tasks to complete, finding time to be joyful and play seems impossible.
I'm sure I was promised when I was an adult I would be able to do what I like and make my own rules. Eat apple crumble for breakfast, have a dance party whenever I wanted, play with my friends until tea time, and watch movies until I fell asleep. Instead it's protein fueled breakfast, focused work until 5, squeeze in a run and wash the dishes and fold the laundry. EW!🤮
Now I get we still have to do all those things, but maybe, just maybe we do one thing a day that brings us that sense of play. Skip down the road, sing along loudly to the Spice Girls, get your colouring book out, call your friend to go bug hunting, I dunno anything. Just find a moment to be joyful!
I bet the rest of the 'boring' stuff feels less rubbish, and that you have more energy for your own creativity.
Pop in the comments what playful thing you will do this week! I am currently working in the Ikea cafe, so I think I will go play pretend in the lounge section.
Ok let me get into character love you bye!
