Selfish Summer Strategies #7: Are You Ha...

Valerie Jones
About this episode

Have you forgotten how to have fun? Do you feel like you've lost the 'fun you'? 

It's easy for life to become all about the 'to-do list', responsibilities, and stress. Fun drops to the bottom of the laundry pile. You don't have time for fun! Gotta get shit done! 

Problem is, without fun, life gets way too serious, you become mired down in 'adulting', and you lose the zestiness that makes each day feel special, magical, and connecting. 

Fun is found in the small moments, when you're fully present. Not focused on the past or the future. And it requires intention. 

I'm bringing you my strategies to create more fun in every day, and especially this summer!! 

Consider this your permission slip to have fun!
