day 24: Dance around the house naked!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

24. Dance around the house naked.

Okay, I am sure I have lost most of you after this Yestember dare.

But come on, you know you want to.

I don’t mean you should do it in front of your random flatmates and I am encouraging you to make sure that all the curtains are shut.

Sometimes, though, we just need to throw caution to the wind and mix everything the hell up!

Mix it up.

You need to turn on some music.

You need to dance in your underwear if that feels more appropriate.

Mostly, you just need to celebrate your fabulous you.

Dance it out.

I promise you will feel absolutely ridiculous in the moment, but the little glint in your eye will sparkle because you have done something so reckless.

Day 23: Explore a little

Kin Women _ 2017-60 (1)

23. Explore a little.

Set a date.

Start the day with a big breakfast at a cafe you love. Then start your exploration.

You are an explorer.

Your mission is to document and observe the world around you as if you’ve never seen it before.

Take notes.

Collect things you find on your travels.

Catch a bus or a train.

Walk in and out of art galleries and museums.

Document your findings.

Notice patterns.

Copy.

Trace.

Focus on one thing at a time.

The most important part:

Record who you are drawn to.

You may just surprise yourself.

day 22: Obligations versus Opportunities

freestocks-org-82753

22. Obligations versus opportunity.

We all have obligations, but what if your life is full of so many obligations that you are unable to say yes to new opportunities?

When I say the word obligation, what is the first thing that comes to mind?

Take time to write in your journal about this obligation and why you are finding it draining in this season.

What can you do to say no to some obligations to open up space for more opportunities?

“I want to wake up every day and do whatever comes to my mind, and not feel pressure or obligations to do anything else in my life.”

Michael Jordan

Here are some of my upcoming workshops that could be an opportunity for you to meet new people.

Day 21. What have you been waiting for?

Is there anything you have been waiting for that you could actually do today?

You know what it is.

The first thing that came to your mind?

How about sitting down and making a plan towards doing it.

Like buying that house.

Parachuting out of that plane.

Going on that holiday.

Find one thing on your bucket list and start to make plans towards doing it this year.

Day 20: Cafe Conversation about self care.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

20. Cafe conversation; self-care.

When I write the words ‘self-care’ what is the image that first comes to you?

A weird ritual from the self-help section of the Library?

Something a psychologist says in passing conversation to sound intelligent?

Self-care is simply a list of nurturing things that make you feel loved and well. Each and every one of us expresses love in a unique way and receives love in different ways as well.

As a single woman, it is easy to stop caring and loving ourselves because we are so busy trying to escape the feelings that often overwhelm us.

Write a list of things that make you feel loved. Here are some ideas:

Bath

Movies

Dinner with friends

Presents

Time

Jobs ticked off a list

Massage

Deep conversation

Then organise to have a coffee and conversation with a good friend about these things.

Sometimes all it takes is a conversation that matters to open up your heart to the possibility of loving differently and extravagantly.

How can you love yourself more?
