When was the last time you lowered all of your inner restraint and completely let yourself go?

I’m talking no-holds barred anything goes the sky is the limit!

That’s right, throw away all of your “shouldn’ts” and “couldn’ts” and completely unleash yourself. Now, this isn’t so crazy. You actually do it more often than you think. When was the last time you read a book or watched a movie. There’s a good chance you suspended disbelief and for a time you were whisked away from your day-to-day world.

Why am I telling you to do this?

Because it’s healthy! It’s like taking a vacation and when you take an excursion with some kind of pure fantasy, book, movie or music you always end up refreshed.

It’s also good exercise for your mind to contemplate things and experiences outside of your familiar world. It’s become too easy for us to be so focused on business and career that we forget the “child” inside needs to play too.

Hey, you want to do something really spontaneous AND FUN? Take a day off from work and read a book…or watch several movies or listen to a few cds. Just turn the phone off and escape for a day. When you “get back to it” again the next day, you’ll be surpised at how productive you’re going to be.
