Skip Into Joy

When was the last time you skipped? You know—that springy, carefree movement that's not quite a walk, hop, or run. Just thinking about it brings a smile. Because the moment you skip, your feet lift, your arms swing, and something shifts, you feel lighter, not just in your body but also in your spirit. Skipping is one of those rare movements that brings instant joy. It's playful, rhythmic, and somehow contagious.

Think about the last time you skipped. Can you even remember it? For most of us, it's something we left behind in childhood. At some point, we traded skipping for walking fast, running errands, and rushing through life. But why did we stop? Was it because someone told us to grow up, act our age, or stop being silly?

What if we gave ourselves permission to skip again?

Skipping isn't just fun—it's revitalizing. It activates the whole body. It lifts your heart rate, loosens your joints, and releases feel-good hormones. More than that, it brings you back to a moment of simple presence. You can't skip and worry at the same time. Your body knows it's playing, and your mind follows.

Here's a fun challenge: Teach someone how to skip without demonstrating it. It's nearly impossible! You quickly realize how unique the movement is. It's not a march, a hop, or a run. It's a playful blend of all three. We learn it by doing, by watching others do it, and by feeling it in our bones as children.

And therein lies the wisdom: skipping is learned through joy. Through imitation. Through movement, not words.

So why not bring it back? Skip a little in your hallway. Skip in the park when no one's looking—or even better when they are. Skip with your grandkids, your dog, and your inner child. Let it be a rebellion against stress, a celebration of being alive.

Skipping reminds us that sometimes the best way to lift our spirits is to lift our feet, and let joy carry us forward.

When did you skip last?
