From 12 Step Literature, we hear things like "We absolutely insist on having fun" and "We are not a glum lot". Recovery is very serious but we don't necessarily need to to take ourselves too seriously all of the time!
Nick the poet shares three ways you can follow your bliss and have more fun. Follow your intuition and your hunches. Thirdly, insist on having fun and doing things with love. If we can change, oftentimes happens from the inside out.
Hey, folks, how you doing? Nick the poet here. What's happening today? I'm a poet coach and just want to share some different tips with you today about how you can follow your bliss and have more fun. Three ways in specific. So one is to follow your intuition and your hunches. Okay? So we all have those little hunches. Try this. You know, for me, maybe it's writing a poem or taking a guitar lesson, or auditioning for that acting role, or calling an old friend who I haven't talked to in a while, or buying a different food in the grocery store, whatever it is.
We have these little hunches, and I encourage you to act on them and see what happens. You know, if we let go of some of that fear of the unknown and that fear of the uncertainty, you know, that's where the magic happens. And it's a. It's a yin and a yang, because when we do that, we may have more fear, but we also may have more joy and more fun. So that's one way that I encourage you to do things, to shift it up a little bit. And the second is to do the opposite. And so that's kind of tied to the first one.
But if you always drive the same way home from work, take a little bit of a different route. If you always go on the same date with your significant other, try it. You know, maybe a different restaurant, a different activity. Ballroom dancing, ping pong, pool, you know, who knows? So just kind of shake things up a little bit, and it could be a really tiny thing. Oftentimes, these little things are what makes a big difference. We don't need to always make really grand changes. They can just be little things that help us.
And thirdly, insist on having fun and doing things with love. So we. We. We oftentimes can't control our external circumstances and where we are and what we are doing, although we sometimes have control over those. But we can't always encourage our inside what's happening inside of us with our attitude and our beliefs. And if we can change, oftentimes happens from the inside out. So if we can start that inside, we might find our circumstances changing as well. So those are three ways that you could follow your bliss today.
I hope that those were encouraging to you, and I hope you have an awesome rest of the day. Okay, I'll catch you on the flip side. Bye.
