UNBRIDLED JOY
I am setting you a challenge at the end of this blog and I’d love you to read through it first so you will know what I am talking about – thank you.
Before my contract finished as a Supervisor in Stockholm, I was so lucky to get the opportunity to go to the Abba Museum with my good friend, Nina-Christina.
We had great fun and so much enjoyment. We laughed, sang, danced, took to the stage, and an Australian guy filmed us (with our permission) because we were having such a great time letting go and flinging caution to the wind. Unbridled joy it definitely was.
A Wonderful Experience
I could see that, during that wonderful experience, we were teenagers again. We were definitely the extra two members of the group!! Yes, we really did let ourselves go and became dancing queens, if not for just that afternoon.
As adult women letting our inner teenagers fully out, we didn’t fear –
what others would think of us
doubted our own abilities
what may or may not happen
judgement of any kind
freedom
fun and laughter
shame and embarrassment
Sight to be seen
I know my singing leaves much to be desired (my family tell me this and it’s true!) and it didn’t matter one bit. I sang my heart out as I knew most of the words of the songs – even when I didn’t, I added my own version. And danced their routines, as well as our own improvised ones. It was quite a sight to be seen, I can assure you!!
Nina-Christina and I were right in tune – we were there to give ourselves the freedom to be ourselves and that’s exactly what we did. We were allowing out our sense of adventure and living life to the full with all the possibilities for being visible to ourselves and the world. Our Souls were being fed. We were expressing unbridled joy.
I Don’t Care
What has this to do with you, you may be asking??? It was so liberating, empowering and exhilarating to come from the place of ‘I Don’t Care’ to what else was happening around us, and to be visible.
It is this willingness to step outside the norm that enables our spirit to stay young – whatever age we are.
Challenge
So my challenge to you is – if you ever get the opportunity to express unbridled joy, will you take the risk and go for it? And maybe you actually are allowing yourself to experience that in your own way.
I’d love to hear from you when you gave or will give yourself permission to let go and have pure unbridled joy.
By the way, if you ever see a video on Youtube of two women letting themselves experience, express and create their own happiness, it will be us. Or even two women who may be ‘taken away’ as they had moved well beyond the Swedish ‘lagom’ = not too much or too little.
I would love you to throw caution to the wind and come on my very reasonably priced post Christmas One Day Workshop and have some joy in learning about yourself. More details are here.
