Work Hard, Play Hard

I was recently asked by one of my best friends "when is the last time you went dancing?"

And it struck me, because it's been FOREVER. Dancing, clubbing and partying used to be a weekly thing for me, my way to have fun, to play.  

This is the last time I went dancing :) 

My idea of "playing hard" is now completely opposite. I still love to laugh and have a good time. But I realize that I like a kinder, calmer way of having fun. Perhaps I am getting older, or lazier, and I really can't deal with hangovers. I want to be fully present in my classes, sleeping because I need rest, not to catch up on sleep. Nowadays, I prefer to go out to dinner with loved ones, bake goods for my roommates, read, exercise, wake up and go for a run, get massages and manicures, and save money for surfing trips. 

What "playing hard" means to you, it doesn't matter. What matters is that it needs to be done, all the time. Wether your idea of playing hard is clubbing and going out dancing, or meditating and cooking, it is important to make time for playing.  Not once a week, or twice, but as much as possible.  As long as you're doing things you love, without regrets, and things that keep you moving forward. Having fun is so important!  If it makes you happy, make time for it!!!! 

Love,
