Remember when you were a kid? Running barefoot in the yard, digging in the dirt, making mud pies, rolling in the grass… those were the days. Well folks, you’re never too old to have a bit of dirty fun, and now there’s even an international day to celebrate mud! Who knew?

Here are a few “how to” suggestions to make your Mud Day the best ever:

1. Get Gardening. There is no garden too large or too small. Till the soil with your own bare hands and plant a few seeds (or seedlings). Watering your garden can be a great excuse to steal a few precious moments each day to meditate and bask in the miracle of life.

2. Go Camping. Pitch a tent in your yard (or a more exotic camping location if you can) and live outdoors for a while to reconnect with nature. Spending time around trees, plants and bugs can inspire your soul like nothing else. Don’t be afraid to get dirty (you will live to see another shower, promise). Sleep outdoors under the stars as well, and remember just how tiny all your problems really are.

3. Take a Pottery Class. Make a mess learning how to create ceramic vessels out of clay mud. Feel the silky clay ooze between your fingers and revel at your amazing powers of creation.

4. Jump in Mud Puddles. Put on your ‘Sunday best’, forget the stains and forget that you’re a grown-up now. The next rainy day, go out and play. Find the best puddles you can and make a splash. Go barefoot if you’re brave and let the soft mud squish between your toes.

5. Hit the Beach! Build a sandcastle or let the kids bury you in the sand! Then go for a barefoot run where the beach is nice and muddy and the waves just lap at your feet. Bliss.

6. Go for a Bike Ride. Mountain biking is all the rage! And it’s so easy to get muddy and dirty on a good off-road trail. Check out your local biking clubs & forums and routes and get pedaling.

7. Have a Facial. If you prefer a more relaxed muddy mud day, why not opt for a mud/clay facial package at your favourite spa.
