How to LIVE like a free spirit?
You can learn to be a free spirited, to be elated or content in your life. Life always gives you lemons, its you who should know how to make lemonade out of it.
Just like a swing, leave yourself on it and take a leap of faith that you will not fall. Hold tight that rope of swing and sit in balance, step back, lift your feet up in the air to take a ride and there you go!! Feel this energy, that how you feeling just like a free spirit. That fresh air touching your face and you feeling refreshed. You feel that's your Real Self, your inner child comes out and play, which appears like an exuberant and zestful person and wow! You yourself never met this person before. Pamper that inner child and don't let that kid lose his confidence.
1. No self judgements or harsh feelings for yourself. Do not feel guilty of those things which are already passed on.
2. Live in the moment, which is a blessing itself. Neither fall into a past trap nor fly into a future box, just stay in present. .
3. Learn to accept the way you are and others. Bring acceptance towards life as it doesn't always treat you fairly.
4. Explore new skills, places, languages, plays or go on an adventure trail. If not then, at least break your current comfort zone and do something exciting which makes you restless and push towards growth.
5. Do not fear from your fears. Break the chain and this vicious cycle of constant apprehension and fearful situations. Whatever is hindering your growth process, just face it. Exposure to the phobic situations eradicate the feelings of fear and turn you into a new person.
6. Relax, and you will keep moving just like you move in swing. Rigidity make you stiff which can break you. Be flexible and take life as it comes.
7. Meditate anywhere, where you feel like doing it.
8. No one is perfect as humans are fallible. Accept imperfections!
9. Be happy who you are, don't be a slave of this society.
10. Run, exercise, eat healthy , do craziest things which give you happiness.
