    012: Finding FUN Quickie: How a “Life Exit” Break can be just what you need to liven you up.

    “I feel my days are on a rinse and repeat cycle – of the same ole, same ole” “I am no longer feeling excited regularly – and I really miss that feeling” “I am worried that I am in a rut, that I can’t seem to get out of” Is this all sounding familiar?       Or you are fighting hard to not have it be familiar? In this Fun Quickie episode, I’m diving into the power of what I call a “life exit”—stepping away from the motherload of demands to reset your energy, creativity, and zest for life. I’ve just returned from Europe and can feel the difference in every part of me—more clarity, more fire in my belly, more creativity buzzing through my veins. And here’s the thing: these exits don’t have to be epic vacations. They can be small, intentional breaks woven into your week. Science shows that stepping out of routine and detaching from daily stressors can: Boost overall well-being by 20%–40% immediately after the break Increase vitality by 20%–30% after just one play day Improve mood by 65% and energy by 35% Life exits don’t have to be dramatic. Try: Weekly play rituals → Saturday play days, community classes, or even a spontaneous YES day Midweek resets → No-tech Wednesday nights, reading at a café, or unplugging from social media Seasonal getaways → A vacation or mini break to recharge more deeply The key is to break the routine and build in psychological detachment. Detachment – mentally switching off from work and pressures Relaxation – letting your body and mind recharge Mastery – learning or trying something new Control – choosing how you spend your time When you combine these, you create a powerful formula for re-energizing your life. *** 💛Share with someone who could use this living lively inspiration today.
