Today is the first of my new series, “Un-Adulting December.” This month I am working on being more present, having more fun, being more in alignment, and doing less existing and more living.
Adulting by your definition might not be a bad thing, but adulting by my definition is doing all the things society collectively agrees make you an adult. The pursuit of adulting well was draining all my energy, so I’ve decided I don’t wanna. 
I’m gonna show up daily doing my best to be present, enjoying my life… un-adulting.
Does this mean I’m going to stop feeding my child, or start feeding her sweets all day? No. Does this mean that I’m going to start driving with my feet? No. However, it might mean that when I feel like rushing to the store in the middle of the night, I’ll ignore that voice that says, “You can’t wear your ducky slippers to Walgreens.” I may allow myself to skip through the parking lot, rather than walk like a sensible adult. I may buy myself a game system for Christmas instead of an upgrade of Turbo Tax….
And I’m releasing the rules of how I need to do things based on the labels I placed on myself (i.e. “introverted), or that others placed on me (i.e. “shy”). I can have a tendency to be introverted and still choose to introduce myself first to someone. I can be a “good mom” and get my daughter McDonald’s for dinner because I don’t feel like cooking, today. I can be happily single and still choose to go out on a date because companionship is fun, too.
I’m giving myself permission to be more ME this month. And I’m sharing my journey with you. Will you please join me?
