Had any Fun Lately? Try this.

Do you remember having fun?

There is a simple assessment tool I use in coaching.

Picture a 🍕 pizza pie with eight slices.

Each slice represents an area of life - Health, Money, Career, Family & Friends, Romance/Relationship, Environment, Personal Growth.

The eighth slice?  It's labeled Fun and Recreation.

When I get to this one, new clients nearly always chuckle.

Fun?  🤪 Yeah, not so much of that happening right now.

I just launched a dedicated coaching lab for women writers. 

Inside the course we don't coach on the craft of writing, but on the whole life of the artist who is doing the work of writing -- writing novels, memoirs, songs, talks, poems.

They identify many ways in which they want to honor their commitment to write.

They want to cultivate greater self-trust and self-compassion, attune to their feelings and needs, learn to ask for help and set healthy boundaries, and harness their creative energy and focus.

Last night, the predominant desire centered around fun.  

They want to bring fun back into their process.

Left alone, fun is subject to internal threats and bullying. 😪

But inside of a community of champions, fun gets to sit at the table of their dreams!   🎶🎭🎨💃🏽

Curiosity, awe, wonder, play and yes ... fun, are at the heart of creative freedom and discovery.  

Fun as an intention -- a creative mindset -- opens the door to massive possibilities!

And, it is also incredibly vulnerable if the table you have seated yourself at is set for one.

On a scale of 1-10, how much fun are you having in your life or work today?   

How might you move that rating up a notch this week?
