Hello, I would like to subscribe to your "dancing through the world with glee" newsletter. That is the ideal state, as far as I'm concerned, and most of my practice is focused on getting there.
[Joking] Step one: Be or become non human.
But seriously anybody even humans can do it, just have to have a positive outlook and care a lot and let go of what is expected of you (from most of society) and enjoy people, nature and the universe with love and kindness.
Hmm... as a Buddhist, the goal is realization that every identity, including 'human', is not real. So, I think your first step is pretty spot on actually. Letting go of what is expected of me is certainly my biggest challenge. I am a caregiver by nature and place a lot of pressure on myself to take care of everyone and everything around me, often to my own detriment. Thank you for the reminder.
You are welcome, hope that you take care of yourself as much as you do others and that others repay that kindness. <3
