Years ago I came across Allen Klein's helpful book, The Healing Power of Humor where he describes our highways as daily distress ways. A remedy he suggested was to keep a bottle of soap bubbles in your glove box. When stuck in endless traffic, roll down your window, and starting blowing bubbles out the window. A wonderful stress reliever to help accept what is in the moment, and have a little fun to let off steam.
I took his advice and one day while sitting in a major traffic backup on the highway, I remembered my bubbles. With wand in hand, I felt silly but did it anyway. I began blowing bubbles out the window. I'll never forget the sight of beautiful glistening orbs drifting upward carried on the wind. The bubbles broke the mesmerism of the cars surrounding me. A smiling female driver parked next to me, rolled down her window, shouting, "I LOVE IT!" We both shared a good laugh, and before long the cars began to roll again.
When feeling stuck...be childlike. Whatever's going on, didn't come to stay, it came to pass. Give yourself a little wiggle room to lighten up. The kingdom of heaven is within and is ever present... It's only a thought away.
Unless ye be like little children,
you cannot enter the kingdom of
heaven. --JESUS
