Show Notes
If there is ever a time when we need to have a little more fun, we need to smile a little wider, we need to laugh and just let go – it’s during this challenging and difficult time.Dr. Michael Brown
Three Problems
- We often respond to the stress in our lives with unhealthy coping mechanisms.
- As we grow older, spontaneity requires more intentionality.
- If our lives lack fun, we have chosen for them to be that way.
Three Principles
- Life can be serious, but it shouldn’t be taken too seriously.
- 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!”
- Incorporate an element of playfulness into every Zoom meeting.
