I am not naive to the fact many things we experience in this life aren’t always described as fun. I get that, believe me. There are so many circumstances that can seem very heavy and serious.
But I also believe that sometimes we can make even our everyday circumstances a lot harder than they really are because of the thoughts we believe about them; the stories our brain is making up about those circumstances.
Take summer, for instance. The kids are out of school and home 24/7, and the infamous "I'm bored" is what you hear over and over again. And your brain wants you to believe that it is now your job 24/7 to etertain them. How does that feel? Pretty stressful and overwhelming, right?
On today's episode I discuss the thought "Make it easy. Make it fun".
I admit, when I first heard this thought, I rolled my eyes. I'm the kind of person that , takes life pretty seriously for the most part. And sometimes I've even judged people who have such a way of making everything they do, even mundane tasks, seem fun no matter what. And a lot of times I could not wrap my head around it.
But this thought, make it easy, make it fun, really is asking the question, how can I make this situation easy and fun? How can I respond to this circumstance in an easy and fun way?
And this question feels light and freeing. It gives me the opportunity to explore another perspective regarding the circumstance.
I really like this thought because it helps me to focus on keeping things simple. And for me, when I keep things simple, I feel a lot less stress and overwhelm.
