Be happy with who you are!

As children, we all, without exceptions, used to talk to ants, imagine friends that didn't exist, communicate with flowers, read books to our toys, etc. We would do these things in front of other people, whether its kids or adults. We would invite those people to participate in our imaginary world of barbies coming alive and kens falling in love with them to get married and live happily ever after. Kids of our age would join in and share the experience. They would also hear voices and communicate back. Adults, however, would join in and pretend that they hear something, just to make it fun for the kids.  

Recalling these childhood adventures, it makes me think, why at some point we abandon those games where nature and objects talk to us. I mean, wasn't it fun? It would always save us from loneliness, and we, as kids, would enter a state of trance, where our minds are so genuinely involved in the game that hours pass within minutes. Why, now, as adults, do we think that talking to ourselves, or our cats, or the trees outside is a bad idea? Why do we think that others that do so are crazy? If I can't hear something, it doesn't mean others can't hear it. Why are kids allowed to be part of the imaginary world whereas adults are considered crazy? 

Another funny part worth noticing is the fact that the state of trance that kids are capable of achieving through their games is very healing and highly beneficial for our well being. So, it turns out that kids are unconciously aware of ways to reduce the minimal stress they experience in those early stages of their lifes. Adults, on the other hand, who experience much higher degrees of stress than their children, abandon those fun ways of reaching trance, which is their natural way of healing themselves. Aren't we self-destructive idiots.

I believe that it is highly beneficial to allow oneself to be silly and playful and full of dreams. You don't need to do it in front of people if you feel highly uncomfortable. Do it when you are alone, or with your significant other, or with your cat. Sing in the shower. Who cares you've got no voice. Release your inner "you" through music you love. Have some "me time" in the basement of your house. Close the door and let the fun begin. Dance a striptease, shake your hair, act your favorite line from "The Notebook", pretend you are a frog and make according sounds. Let the neighbors wonder. Who cares about the neighbors. I'm sure they've got things to hide, too. We all do.

Meditate; allow yourself to simply be. Just breath and enjoy that you are alive. Although it sounds easy, it may sometimes be hard to accomplish. We are so rushed with our lifes that we have forgotten what it means to completely relax and be in balance with ourselves. With technological advancements, relaxation came to be associated with lazily watching TV on a couch. But this kind of relaxation cannot be compared to the meaningful and aware state of trance produced by meditation. TV is a passive entertainment. It does, in fact, make us forget about our problems, but it doesn't teach us anything about our mind and body balance, whereas meditation does. So, turn off your TV and meditate. You'll feel much less stressed and full of life.

Masterbate. There lies a great power in pleasuring oneself. First of all, you are the only person who really knows how to do it. You can explore yourself and spend as much time with yourself as you want. Masterbation is an act of love. If you don't love yourself, why would anyone else. Show your body that you are totally and eternally in love with it and that you are ready to do anything to please it. Your body, in turn, will say a big Thank You and charge you with positive energy, enhanced immune system, and tons of endorphines. 

Overall, enjoy your life. You are the only person that knows how to make you happy. 
So, go ahead, do things that you like doing. Uncover the inner child in yourself and be happy.
