#1 What’s most important about this is that you find a way to

PLAY ALONE!

 

Many of us have ways to play that require other people.

 

So, if playing Scrabble or Monopoly is awesome for you, but you can never get that second and third person on board… You go without!

 

Check and see that whatever you consider your “go to” form of play, allows you to decide YOU wanna play without having to go enroll anybody else.

 

Something that you can pull out and do in 10 or 15 minutes.

 

I play puzzle and hidden object games on my iPad. :-)

 

They’re normally $7 dollars each but I know if I wait, near all holidays, they always go for half-price! I buy 2 to 4 games on sale and then PLAY my way through them.

 

I want you to notice that what I consider “play” is still active for my brain.

That’s OK!

 

It relaxes and restores me because my ability to solve the hidden object puzzle IS NOT directly connected to whether anyone’s marriage survives, a child resumes loving her mother or an Alpha steps out of depression.

 

My Play gives me “problems“ to solve that are easy and light.

 

Set yourself up for success Alphas!

 

#2 I saved the easiest one for last.

 

Play music! But not just any music. You should know the one or two songs that really “get you up. “

 

These songs are the hero anthem of your heart. The energy, the tempo, the sound, the words, all bundled together, they lift you.

 

It is soo Self Loving to keep yourself connected to that small handful of songs that speak through your soul.

 

I want you to note these songs do not have to be positive.

 

A song that deeply deeply moves you, to express something inside of you,

even if that’s something is darker… is self loving.

 

PLAY. Give yourself permission and time.
 

Play a game or tune in to one of your own Power Anthems.  

You don’t need a $500 spa day to say “I love you to yourself!”
