13. Let’s Lighten Up: Permission Granted to Make Time For Fun with These Tips

I Meant to Do That - Motivation, Strategies, Communication Insights, Live and Lead Authentically

13. Permission granted to make time for fun. No, it's not frivolous. In fact, fun is just as important as productivity. Your well-being, relationships, and work success depend on your consistent ability to add fun to your life and to lighten up!

When we are in the middle of chaos, busyness, or challenging seasons, we are tempted to grind it out with our heads down! Why? Because it seems frivolous, expensive, and time-consuming. Frankly, fun seems not suited for the seriousness of the situation. But without authentic fun, stress, despair, frustration, and even depression can take over our energy and spirit.

In today's episode, Kerri shares more about the necessity of having fun and how to take ourselves less seriously. You'll learn:

• Why fun is harder for some people and what to do about it
• The three elements that make up fun
• How to quickly discover what is truly fun for you
• The importance of taking your failures less seriously

Listen to hear a spontaneous example of how to truly lighten up as Kerri reveals her own "mangled moments" as posted on Facebook.
