Inject More Fun Into Your Workday and Watch Your Creativity Soar!

So many executives get weighed down by the seriousness of work. But what if we made space for fun? Imagine the surge in creativity and the boost in enjoyment. You might even find yourself looking forward to your day!

Just like baking a delicious cake, I’ve been reflecting on the key ingredients that make for a fun-filled day. Here are a few of the essential elements I’ve discovered:

Be Present.

I often watch kids play, and what strikes me is how completely they’re immersed in the moment. I recall how, as a child, I loved to sit back and let my ideas flow. That was my version of play. My mom used to call it “building castles in the air.” Those moments were pure fun because they required my full attention—engaged in the details of dreams and possibilities.

Leave the Baggage Behind.

As kids, we argued, then moved on—forgetting in an instant what we’d been upset about. Fun is light; it has no space for baggage—especially not the heavy kind, even if it’s on wheels.

Lean Into the Edge.

Sometimes, a little challenge and the unknown can make a day even more exciting. There’s a great sense of accomplishment when we take on something new and succeed—especially when it felt a little scary at first. This has been my experience as I dive into the world of entrepreneurship. I wake up, wrestle with doubts, and push forward anyway. I’ve found that not only is the process fun, but it’s also incredibly fulfilling.

The list could go on, and everyone has their own preferences for how to build fun into their lives. There’s no reason we shouldn’t fill our days with joy—unless, of course, we choose not to. And I respect that choice, too. To each their own.

But if you do choose fun, here’s wishing you a FUN-filled day!
