{Experiment 3: Spend a little time (at least 15 to 30 minutes) a day playing with my children. During this time I have to be authentically enjoying myself, and I have to be fully present (not letting my mind wonder to what's next, etc.). I will do this experiment for 7 days and record my observations here on my blog.}
A few things I have learned about this experiment. First of all, it is hard for me to make time for this- which is both eye-opening and concerning to me. (Life has been really busy over the past week with school/internship/etc. but still, I only need 15 minutes.) Second of all, when I can/do make the time, the happiness that results is like no other. Tonight Grace and I played paper dolls together. We played for nearly an hour and I seriously think this playing fulfilled her in a way that nothing else does. And surprisingly, because I could see how happy it made her, I also walked away from our play date incredibly fulfilled. Amazing how something so easy and simple can have such an impact.
