The Merits of Lightening Up

Lightheartedness is such an underrated quality.

Think about what the words put together mean.

A light heart.

Even saying those words together brings a lightness and expansiveness to my own heart.

It’s like no matter what I may be facing, I can see my way through.

I see possibility.

I see opportunity.

I see lightness and love.

It is a buoyant feeling that carries with it the secret sauce to magic-making in life.

Whenever I find myself getting too heavy-hearted - especially in the times we find ourselves, I remember to lighten my load by lightening my heart.

In doing so I magically find the miracles and the beauty and the laughter that lift away the heavy so that I can once again see the light.

Consider for yourself the gift of lightheartedness.

What would it look like for you?

How would it change your world?

How would it change how you see others?

How would it change how you show up for yourself and for others?
