Time and Screen light – a short video 2-3 mins and an audio interview that really brings home the teaching.
Cultivating playfulness is one of the best things we can do to improve the quality of our lives and the world around us.
Playfulness is infectious.
At what point during the course of our adult life did we begin to need a reason to feel good?
When, along the way, did we swap fearlessness and playful exuberance for strict limitations on how we express ourselves?
At what point did we lose touch with the natural flow of life that used to ignite our imaginations?
This free 4-week course has been created to help you reclaim your playfulness and deepen the connection to your surroundings. It will offer an exploration into your own playfulness and expedite simple practices to improve the quality of your daily life.
Join our course, playful and free,
Learn to raise energy, flexible you’ll be.
Four weeks of fun, let’s set it in motion,
Reclaim your playfulness, create a joyful potion.
Connecting to surroundings, a deeper tie,

Symbolically “burning your to-do list” helps you break free,
From rigid routines that are lacking glee.
Embracing spontaneity and a joyful rhyme,
Balancing life’s demands, one step at a time.
Balancing life's demands, one step at a time.
To-do lists, like rabbits, keep on breeding,
Lengthening endlessly, never conceding.
Organisation is fine, no need doubt,
But do they truly let life's moments sprout?
The three main problems with to-do lists as I see it are:
Life is unpredictable, and unexpected events can disrupt plans. If a to-do list is rigid, last minute changes are difficult to accommodate, leaving you feeling frustrated and inadequate; letting yourself and others down.

People have varying levels of energy throughout the day. Tasks that require higher concentration and focus might not be suitable during periods of low energy and basic to-do lists fail here, having us feel that there is something wrong with us, leading us to believe we can never get anything done.
Flexibility is key in life's grand dance,
Plans disrupted, you need a chance,
To care for yourself and your well-being,
With energy and play, results you are seeing.
We are told that to-do lists will have us feeling organised but I find they come from a sense of duty and become more of a burden than a guide. Do you feel the same way sometimes?
The way I get around it is I add items to my list that I love to do as well as items that need to be done. Then I get some energy boosts with the fun things on my lists.
I’ve created a process that I’d like to share with you to help you make time where you don’t think there is any!
So, let's "burn" the list that binds us tight, Embrace the now, let our hearts take flight. A richer, fun-filled life, let's unfold, With spontaneity and joy untold!
