Greetings and welcome to 2025 Week 4,
Fun.
This is an episode about fun.
If you're new to the podcast,
Welcome,
And if you listen regularly,
Thank you.
My great-nephew Aiden turned six years old on January 3rd this year.
My brother Tony,
His wife Pat,
And his daughter April and I drove down to the birthday party in Tampa,
Florida that was at the Sky Zone.
The glee and awe that those children exuded while playing was a great reminder not to take life so seriously.
I need as many reminders to have more fun as I can get.
This weekend,
I got to hang out with 10 beautiful ladies at our gathering called Kim's Coffee and Conversations.
We reflected on 2024 and what was important to us about the year.
A few things I shared were my voiceover projects that offered accessibility for the visually along with enjoying teaching crochet and a senior computer class at my job at the library.
As I was sharing,
I got to thinking about how I want to have more fun in 2025.
I also shared that I wasn't sure what fun was for me at this stage of life.
Since we met on Saturday,
I've had the idea of having fun on my mind.
The mind loves to answer questions,
So let's do a simple exercise.
Close your eyes if you're not driving or operating heavy equipment.
Take a few breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth.
Relax your shoulders as you breathe at your own pace.
Give yourself permission to remember a time when you had fun.
Ask yourself these questions.
When I recently had fun,
I was fill in the blank.
What was I doing when I was having fun?
Who was I with when I had fun?
Where was I when I was having fun?
Sit with these questions and remind your subconscious mind to remind you of the answers later.
I'll give you a few moments in the silence to breathe and receive.
As you are returning to this moment,
Say aloud,
Subconscious mind,
Please remind me of the answers to my questions about having fun.
Return back to this moment and into your body.
Take a deep breath in through your nose and a loud exhale out your mouth.
Take a look around you.
Say aloud one more time,
Subconscious mind,
Please remind me of the answers to my questions about having fun now or later.
Did anything come up for you?
If not,
Asking the question is planting a seed,
So be ready to receive an answer when you least expect it.
I'd love to know,
What do you find to be fun these days?
