Episode 217: How to Make Everything More Fun

Brain’s don’t want to have fun. They want to save energy and protect us from threats. They keep us safe by noticing how hard things are and so even when we’re doing things we want to do, we can still feel a lot of negative emotion about it. This week’s podcast episode is a continuation of our discussion last week on play and today we’re talking all about fun. How do we have more fun not just when we’re playing, but in all the areas of our life?  Fun is not created by the things we do; it is created by the things we think. And so if we’re going to have more fun, we have to understand the thoughts that are keeping us from feeling it. On today’s podcast I’m sharing the things that make it hard to have fun so that no matter what you’re doing, you can have as much fun as you want.
