I used to be a serious person-until yesterday. Yesterday. I am 58 years old and finally, I recognized that even when I was in joy, I was still serious with self-imposed limits. Even my baby pictures show a very serious child! 

Hmm. I thought that being goofy and silly was something other people did-but not me. I thought I would lose my credibility as a successful person, as a psychotherapist, as a Specialized Kinesiologist and now as an author and teacher. 

Oh my goodness! I was wrong. Yesterday I called two of my good friends-my happy free–flowing friends. If you want to learn how to do something you find an expert and do what they do, right? I am a fast learner and I chose experts. 

I told my friends I wanted to do a Happy Dance-and put it up on YouTube! You see, when I jump into something I take a giant leap going full out! Yes, show my Happy Dance to the world on YouTube. And I did it. And I had a super fantastic time! 

I had no clue how much fun being just plain goofy can be. We went to a fantastic playground-did not even know all the great stuff they had there (talk about manifesting what you want-instantly). And we played and played. 

Oh but we did not just play-we wore flower faces, blew bubbles and danced all over the place. We yelled and screamed and laughed and laughed and laughed. In fact, we laughed so much we decided to record our own laughing and make it the sound track of our video. 

Here is the thing-I used to be so quiet and shy that when I talked no one heard me. And when I laughed-I did not make noise. Hard to believe when you watch the Happy Dance. 

But hey, that was who I used to be not who I am now. And the best part of breaking free of my self-imposed limitations is now I feel I can be comfortable any time, any place with anyone. Like riding a bike-I got it and I will never lose it. 

You know what? None of my readers left me because of the Happy Dance video. In fact one person commented that my Happy Dance made her day!
