#13 - The Dodds Abide

On this week's episode I am joined by Tina and Mac Dodds. Tina is a professional life coach, speaker, and retreat facilitator. She helps busy people live more and stress less. Mac is health coach and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist with the National Strength and Conditioning Certification. They have two sons and shared so many real examples of including fun in parenting, business, and life. They shared great stories of having fun with raking the leaves, doing the laundry, and walking in the rain. The conversation is so rich and filled with very practical ideas to add play and making that type of life contagious. These two are such fun people and you will hear that come out throughout this conversation. Today's word of the day is "chores." Every time you hear the word chores take a sip. Most of our conversation revolved around the idea of making chores fun, so why not turn that word into a game right off the bat. Food and drinks for thought, "How can you make a chore you don't like doing more fun?" Top Topics Play can be infectious. Kids are great reminders to tap into that playful spirit. When you're having fun it give permission to others to have fun as well. Why do kids love puddles, but adults avoid them at all costs? Play is a fluid thing. It doesn't have to be playing an actual game. It can be bring a playful attitude to anything. Everything works better if you unplug it once in a while, including you. It's hard to tap into the fun when you're not feeling your best. It's a good idea to have things ready to go like a good playlist or comedy clips on Youtube. Others need these too, so feel free to share your things with others. Changing your physiology helps get you out of your head and into your body. Moving your body is a great way to bring that. Chores are not always fun, but how can you bring play into those chores that have to be done? What do you like? Why not focus on that to help get your healthy routine? Reminding yourself to enjoy this right now. Enjoy this client. Enjoy this meeting. Enjoy the now. Playfulness is really opening yourself up to being present. You enjoy the game less when you are worried about what's the next letter in our ABC game.
