40. My Favorite “F” Word: Fun

Good news: Fun isn’t just for the kiddos anymore. As we age, it’s easy to view fun as frivolous or unproductive, but in reality, fun experiences are crucial for our health and well-being. I discuss the many psychological and physical benefits of fun and how you can (easily) incorporate more fun into your day-to-day life. In this episode, I break down the different types of fun (there are three!), how you accidentally may be having faux fun, and, surprisingly, why it may be wise to schedule your fun.References: https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2023/02/04/1150518287/fun-play-happiness-stress-reductionhttps://psyche.co/guides/how-to-start-having-more-fun-in-your-busy-lifehttps://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/23/well/mind/having-fun-suceeding-coronavirus-pandemic.htmlhttps://www.rei.com/blog/climb/fun-scaleConnect with Betsy:Visit my website: The Bets LifeFollow me on Instagram: @thebetslife Follow me on TikTok: @thebetslifeLove the podcast?
