[dropcap]I[/dropcap]t has been a while since we have sat down to do a Meditate the Chic on Modern Chic. We thought with the holidays already upon us that we would share a motivational challenge this month. On a visit to a Buddhist Temple in Hacienda Heights, our very own Starrie Lowe came across a lovely, joyful child statue there. With this in mind, we encourage you to get inspired by his sweet expression and to save it as a reminder to be more open to a playful heart, and to not forget your own as well.
Throughout life we encounter expectations and attachments. We even begin to attach these expectations on material things so much so we begin to lose value on what really matters. Responsibilities are a part of maturity, and yes, growing up. But taking time off our busy day to schedule some quality time with family or even some much needed “me” time, can be a way to appreciate life more. Let us remind ourselves that we should keep our hearts open to gratitude, authenticity, and even playfulness. A lesson to learn this holiday season.

We challenge you to take at least 30 minutes of your busy day to be “playful” whether it’s catching up with a friend, cooking a dish you’ve always wanted to try or simply spending some quality time by yourself. The key is to let loose, and enjoy every second.
