This is something I find myself saying to my children when I feel frazzled. One day, one of my guides slapped me in the face with how squelching to their spirits this phrase is. At 5, 4 and 2, they're pure play in action. They know nothing else, nor do I want them to know anything else really.
In 'The Secret' Jack Canfield says that his family has a motto (I'm paraphrasing) "If it's not fun, don't do it." At first glance, this looks like an unrealistically hedonistic outlook on life that can only end in disaster. That's not the case at all. In truth, for their family, fun is a high priority, therefore they are going to do what's fun and the Univers is going to match their high vibration with returns of love and prosperity.
For me, the affirmation is, "I do what brings me joy." This allows me to experience joy in the mundane (such as washing the dishes or folding the mountains of laundry created by an active family of four) and this elevated vibration yields me returns of love and prosperity as well. As my wonderful teacher, Minister Valerie Love teaches, Love, Joy & Abundance are simese triplets. Where one goes, the other two follow. If you are experiencing or expressing Love, you are also attracting to yourself Joy and Abundance. If you are experiencing or expressing Joy, you are also attracting to yourself Love and Abundance. If you are experiencing or expressing Abundance, I'm sure that you know that you have Love and Joy also.
Children are made to play. Would we adult learn from their example and add a little more fun or Joy into our lives, the Love and Abundance will surely follow.
