Three Problems

- As we grow older, spontaneity requires more intentionality.
- If our lives lack fun, we have chosen for them to be that way.
Three Principles

- Spontaneous silliness can quickly deflate stress.
- We are never too old to enjoy the activities we most loved as children.
Three Practices
- Ask yourself in moments of stress, “How can I inject silliness into this situation?”
- On occasion, announce to your household, “It’s time for a dance party!”
