Maybe reading and dancing are at the top of your fun list too – or you might be able to think of nothing worse. That’s the beauty of choice… It’s up to you. Make a list of at least 3 fun activities you want to do more of.

2. Make Time. How can you create more space in your life to allow the soul’s energy out to play? You might not literally be able to make time but you can choose how you spend the hours you have. Life is so short – you need to decide what’s important to you and manage your time more effectively.
