I’ll think about having fun when…

…when I finally get a good night’s sleep? When everything is perfectly in order? When I’ll have time for that?

I do a Wheel of Life exercise with my clients—where they rate eight key areas of their lives—guess which one usually scores the lowest? Fun. It’s the one area we feel we can neglect because no one else will be affected. But we will be!

And then, when we do think about having fun, we often make it a big thing. A long-awaited trip, a weekend away, finally signing up for that dance class. And of course, that could be the answer.

When I was a child I dreamt of becoming a spy agent, around my 30th birthday my best friends and I attended the spy academy and it was so much fun!!

But what about today? If, before you go to bed tonight, you had to have fun, what would it look like? What’s one small, realistic thing you could do? (even if today is a bad day…)

Maybe it’s blasting your favorite song and dancing for a few minutes wherever you are! Or styling your hair like you’re 15 again! Or texting a friend using only emojis, and see if they understand! Maybe it’s watching that favorite movie scene of yours that makes you laugh so much! Maybe it’s playing with your kids, giving them your full, undivided attention… Maybe it’s calling that friend who always lifts your spirits. Or taking a walk with no destination in mind…

What will you do TODAY to add a little sparkle of fun to your life? And in doing so, inspire others to do the same?

I believe that when we tap into our fun side, we connect with our inner child—and with our inner wisdom. That’s when we feel what’s right for us and what isn’t. A little fun can shift our entire perspective. It connects us to our intuition… and that will be next month’s topic.

But for now, for your sake—and for the sake of those around you—make time for fun. Better yet, sparkle fun into everything you do.

And while sparkling fun, think of Who are you being when you’re having fun?

With love, light & lots of giggles!
