Don't Forget about Fun
Adulting is no joke, it comes with many perks like independence, privacy, and making your own decisions. But it also often takes you for a ride on the "struggle bus." Being a parent, wife and business leader is awesome! I've grown tremendously and experience so many beneficial seminars, workshops and exceeded lots of goals. But while working so hard it's easy to forget about the original F word. FUN! Play to Win at life Playing whether by making silly faces, racing your kids, wrestling with your spouse or getting a bunch of friends together and reminiscing on college craziness, often provides us with a rush of positive emotions. As we hustle and climb the mountain of success we must make room for fun.
The Science of Fun
There is a positive science to it that will make it worth your while. Having fun fuels further success in your endeavors. It cultivates creativity, lowers stress and increases Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin and Endorphins. These are all feel good chemicals that increase happiness. When you're happy your brain has a higher capacity to create new ideas, innovate and problem solve. Adding a bit of fun to your life can do a world or a difference. 3 Weeks and Counting In my recent post "Throw some Sprinkles on it," I shared my focus of incorporating more fun into my life. The last few weeks have been so awesome since I've introduced this new mentality. I've been a better spouse, mommy and business woman. I've had wave after wave of new ideas inundate my mind and I'm just feeling wonderful! As you set those intentions for 2018 and beyond, make space and create intentions for fun, you'll thank yourself later! I've attached a related article, it's a great read! The Science of Fun
