Life can be hard; often when we least expect it something happens to test us and can make us feel disheartened and like happiness is always short lived.
It’s easy to then get stuck in a negative mindset at times like this and fall into sadness, overwhelm and exhaustion.
Everything feels like it’s too hard and you want to disconnect from the world around you.
It’s at times like this that I am a firm believer in pushing myself to tap into the fun, silly, unexpected things that bring joy.
Last year I surprised my daughter with tickets to a Harry Potter High Tea and it was rescheduled a few times which left her disappointed.
When it was rescheduled to this last month she was in the midst of some health issues so we weren’t sure if we could even attend.
Luckily we were able to make arrangements to be there, and the event encouraged the children to dress up… well life’s too short to let my daughter’s shyness get in the way of her having fun, so that meant I had to get into it too!
I love to dress up, laugh, have fun and enjoy the little moments in life. So we dressed up, walked down the street and received lots of funny looks and a few cars tooted on our drive too!
We blasted the music, danced our hearts out in the car, waved our wands and yelled magic spells at each other out the front of the event and had an absolute ball interacting with all the Harry Potter characters at the High Tea.
So again, within the big yucky bits of life I think it’s so important to have fun and be crazy. Laughter and joy is truly the best medicine!
