You feel the aliveness in your body as the fresh air rushes through your body and fills your body with aliveness!

For many sports you get to interact with the fresh air – to be outside, maybe appreciating the feeling of the grass beneath your feet, or the feeling of the sunshine shining down on you, lighting up the world around you with its golden beams.

How great it feels to USE your body!

How great it feels to acomplish results with your physical body and with your physical strength!

How much appreciation it gives you for your body and strength!

You learn to go beyond what you thought your limits were.
You see yourself improving and getting better with practice which is so satisfying!

You learn that practice, and patience to allow yourself the time and space to get better and better – gets results.

You learn what it feels like to use your body in a way which feels like you’re using all your muscles to the max; using your body to the max – utilising your full potenetial – which is a wonderful feeling to know that you’re using your talent and potential to the fullest that you can!

You learn to look after your body and respect it so that it will help you to function optimally – to achieve that satisfying fullest potential.

You learn teamwork; because for many sports in order to win, you need the team to win.

You learn the satisfaction of how great it feels when you are able to succeed even when conditions are challenging.

You learn to keep going and not to give up.

And sport can even be a kind of meditation. When you play, you’re not thinking about taxes and politics – no! you’re focused! you’re focused on the sport! And for that time that your focus is on the sport, your thoughts are free of the normal baggage – and you are lighter; freer.. no wonder engaging in sport feels good!

The more I focus on something, the more it opens the way for new thoughts around the subject; new ideas and potential experiences; leading to expansion of thought as I focus at new levels and depths.

By having something to focus on and work on, it gives me a sense of something to aim for

It gives ideas of places I want to reach relative to where I am right now

It gives me a focus for progress and development
It gives me a sense of direction
It helps to give me a sense of purpose
It gives me a sense of fulfillment
It gives me a sense of peace of mind when my mind is occupied with the object of attention

I love that when I have something to focus upon…
It feels interesting
It feels captivating
It feels stimulating
It feels like sparks firing
It feels satisfying
It feels like delicious busy-ness
It feels like you have something great to do with your time
It feels engrossing

It feels like my energy is focussed
It makes me feel centered
It makes me feel focused
It makes me feel good

It feels fresh
It feels exciting
It feels stimulating

It activates my curiosity

It activates my desire to know more

When something really interests me,
It feels engaging
It feels engrossing
It feels like I can’t wait to learn more about it
It feels like I’m eager to spend more time focusing on it
It feels like eagerness
It feels like keeness
It feels sparkly
It feels new
It feels bright
It feels light
It feels easy
It feels like interest leads to a state of flow
Being in a state of flow and ease
Where time goes by quickly and you’re just enjoying the process

It feels like good utilization of your time
It feels like good utilisation of your freedom to do anything

Feeling like something’s super interesting feels so good!
It feels life-giving
It feels like it enriches my life
It feels wonderful!

I love how you can sense their aliveness; their energy; a busy little bubbling of energy.

I love how you can sense the energy flow between you and them and how it’s dynamic and responsive to your mood and state

Feeling togetherness…
It feels warm
As Olaf might say, it feels like a warm hug!
It feels safe
It feels comfortable
It feels secure
It feels dynamic
It feels alive
It feels relaxed
It feels stimulating
It feels like you’re connected
It feels like you’re not alone
It feels like there’s someone there for you
It feels like there’s someone to share experiences with
It feels like there’s someone to talk to
It feels like shared energy
It feels like shared experience
It feels like co-creation of energy and experience
Co-creation at its best

I love it when you hear a song and get into the sound right away; get into the mood of it; into the beat.

I love that moment in the song right before the chorus or your favourite bit of the song kicks in when you’re looking forward to what you know is coming next – that delicious anticipation of the awesomeness that is to come!

I love the way I can feel my head wanting to sway and bop along with the music

I love the way I feel the strong urge to join in; to whistle.. mouth the words in perfect time with the music.. to sing along

I love the bits where you feel the singer puts all their heart and soul into it; belting beautifully like they’re really feeling the song through every fibre of their being

I love the bits in the song where gorgeous harmonies kick in – ahh I love the sound of perfectly harmonious harmonies so much! They totally give me shivers!

Listening to a song I really love..
At that moment there is no thought; just a clean, open mind that’s listening and enjoying.
It feels captivating

It feels satisfying
It feels magical
It feels like energy flowing through you
It feels like life flowing through you
It feels wonderful!
