FOUR STEPS TO BECOMING A FREE SPIRIT
When you have spent most of your life seeking the approval of others, living a life that you believe needs to be approved by others, or being a rule follower, it can be difficult to break out and be a free spirit.
I have actually been giving this quite a bit of thought lately, and have come to the conclusion that in order to have the life I want I am going to have to break the ties that bind and become more of a free spirit.
How do we become free spirits?
1) Is there something you feel passionate about, but haven't had the courage to take action on? Being a free spirit means that you may have to bypass practicality and instead follow your dreams. That may sound scary at times, but in the end, it can lead to true satisfaction and happiness.
2) Being a free spirit requires living in the moment. Instead of worrying about what others think of you or what is going to happen tomorrow take time to savor the moment you are in right now. Use all of your senses to enjoy where you are now. This is where meditation can help.
3) Embrace Humor. Have you ever noticed how freeing laughter is? We all get into uncomfortable situations, but free spirits may find themselves in more of those situations. Look for the humor in even the stickiest of situations. Laughter and humor will lighten your load.
4) Just let go and trust yourself. Trust that you know yourself better than anyone else does. Trust that you know what is best for you. Trust in your own path.
Do you consider yourself a free spirit or want to become more of one? If so, what are some of the things you are doing?

EMBRACING THE AGING PROCESS
Let's face it, we are all getting older.
As I watch my daughters and grandchildren getting older it amazes me how quickly they change, and I see a reflection of my own aging in their faces.
We so often think of the negative aspects of aging, but there is so much to be positive about.
There is freedom that comes with aging.
We learn that we don't need everyone else's approval in order to live our lives the way we want.

We learn that we don't need everyone else's approval in order to live our lives the way we want.
We realize that we can dress how we want, think how we want, and make any changes we want without consulting with anyone else.
We also may realize that this is the way we should have been living our lives all along.
It can all be very freeing.
So I say let's embrace the aging process.
