Living from the heart means taking the time to listen to yourself about the things that make your heart sing, and then making time for those things in your life in a planned and predictable way. We are all walking around in a world where it is easy to feel somber and discouraged over the happenings of the last few years. In times like these when the economy contracts there is a natural tendency to become less optimistic about the future and more focused on the fundamentals of keeping yourself and your family safe. While this is a natural response to all the external uncertainty, it can have the unintended effect of closing off our hearts and contracting our ability to create and cultivate joy and play in our lives. This contraction is another way to get ourselves out of balance and over time it takes its toll on our hearts, our relationships and our families.
