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.
