EPISODE 19 | To learn to love to laugh again

from Let’s Build the Real Thing™️| The Map and The Magic of Your™️Work · host MoreThanThisbyEmmaUpton

If you're anything like me, you have a brain that's pretty loud, pretty-much all of the time. And as much as we'd LOVE for it to be filled with sunshines, rainbows and our next life-changing idea, sometimes it can get a little loud in there. ESPECIALLY as the brain's default setting is survival - it activly and intentionally spends most of it's time seeking-out danger in an attempt to keep us safe. Living in this danger-seeking-out mode 24/7 puts a dampner on our mood (to say the least). Add to this the fact that we have a gajillion jobs to organise throughout the course of one day And laughing can feel like the last thing on the list that we wanna do! Only...living a life without laughter is pretty pants! Being so busy getting all (the good) stuff done without space to truly enjoy it can leave us wondering  "Does fun actually get to be part of this!?" So I made it my missing - to wear my watermelon pinks and seek-out where I'm myself missing-out on enjoying living, to simply get "stuff" done and make it to the end of my list. Where Francis is telling me, "just do, don't have fun!" And instead, I've learned to laugh at her! To stop taking her so seriously - like her and her "lets white knuckle it through life" ISN'T as deserable as she has had me believe. And WHEN I see her, up to her tricks, I've learned to LAUGH. I've remembered how to. And I use each and every I notice her nonsense as an oppostunity to lol!
