For me, when I look back

being late identified, you know, I was right at forty.

Edit.

I was such a serious child.

You know, I didn't really play.

I didn't give myself permission or allow that.

You know, there was just like this seriousness that I had.

And so for me, it yes, some of those things I found were my joy that I went back to like my husband and I went and bought swings.

like last year 'cause we both love to swing growing up and I was like, I wanna swing.

We've got these great trees and I've got a hammock, so I'd love to get out in the hammock and I'm like you, I'm an outdoor girl.

And

It was so fun because that sort of unlocked what it felt like for me to have like that joy, that freedom, that release of play and laughter without like the agenda of what I'm doing it for, right?

I'm doing it just for the heck of it.

And just finding that one thing was sort of like the thread that I could then say, Oh, that's what it feels like.

So then I could get compassionately curious and try a bunch of things that

hadn't given myself permission to.

I so I sort of reclaimed my childhood and my adulthood to play.

And so I love how you brought that in as a way to start exploring self care.

Thank you for that.

Michelle, I I really want you to dive into if you don't mind.
