Unleashing the Power Of Fun (plus my 4-Part Sensational Summer Blueprint) Playing Full Out™ with Rita Hyland
-
- Self-Improvement
When was the last time you did something just because it delighted you? When was the last time you broke from your routine and were fully immersed in an activity for pure enjoyment? Or when you added a little absurdity into your day simply because it made you feel alive?
Doing something for the fun of it not because it serves some greater purpose may seem like a luxury to you today, but research confirms something quite different. Far from being frivolous, self-indulgent, irresponsible, or even selfish, having fun is actually ESSENTIAL to a life well played.
Unfortunately, in our uber goal-focused lives, as much as we crave activity for pure fun, we have a hard time giving ourselves permission to embrace it.
Today, I’m sharing with you a personal moment that reminded me not only that it was time to get my play on again regardless of what I had accomplished, but some of the science behind unleashing the power of fun in our lives. I’m also sharing with you my go-to 4-part blueprint (and challenge!). It’s a ritual I do at this time every year. When you do it you’ll ensure you don’t get to the end of summer and realize you missed out or denied yourself the fun that you need and silently crave.
If this episode is helpful for you, please share it with someone else who would benefit from hearing it. Also, be sure to leave a review on Apple Podcasts letting me know what you enjoy about Playing Full Out and any questions you have. We may just use the subject for a future episode!
