What’s flipping you out these days? … The messiness and noisiness of the kids home for summer? The little-kid-part-of-you who wants to be on holiday because schools out…even though you graduated years ago? The irritation of watching work pile up, while you long for relaxation and sunshine?

Just for a minute, let’s “flip” those feelings into clues for exploring… just like a sleuth. You’ll easily sense them in your body… any tension… irritation… ache… and… longing. Maybe in your stomach… your head… your chest… or your legs or back Could be anywhere… As you sense it, you easily notice how big it is… and you are aware of whether it’s bigger or smaller than you expected… Either way, move your attention into it and fully embrace it the way you embrace a child who has tripped and scrapped his/her knee.

Hmm, feel the relief as your body senses acceptance. Right in the center… is an image… a thought… a greater awareness? of what your intuition knows… and it’s? becoming apparent to you without even thinking… maybe in your daydreams or your night dreams or even in this moment!

As you allow it to fully manifest behind your eyes, you sense… how to respect your inner life and also meet your responsibilities… how to allot time to play and also get things done…

How to balance the ups and downs…

As you imagine yourself on a kid’s teeter totter… notice how rarely it balances perfectly… mostly it’s up and down…
That’s the fun of it!

Playing with your mind… you’ll imagine whose up and whose down on your unique teeter totter? what it’s like when there’s no one on with you? When there is someone with you… whose heavy and whose light? What’s the speed of the tipping and teetering Is it gentle or rough?

As you give your attention to it, the teeter totter naturally evolves into a playful balancing game between you and others; work and play; your family/friends and your responsibilities; your needs and your willingness to satisfy them immediately in ways that cost little.

Relax into it and notice how quickly your body works when it’s rested and having fun! And your kids, too!

Wow! What if you are having more fun this summer… than ever before… with your work, your kids/family/friends, your needs…

THIS COULD BE YOUR FLIPPIN’BEST SUMMER EVER!
