Consciously court lightness and joy
In this episode I’m covering the subject of FUN! Because frankly, many of us are not getting enough of it in our daily lives.
This episode has been inspired by the BBC TV series, Race Across the World. I’m obsessed with it and love the life insights gleaned from watching the experiences the contestants have while competing.
The latest series is a celebrity one, and in case you don’t watch it, the basic premise is that four celebrities, along with a chosen loved one, embark on an epic race across the world, with only the cost of a plane ticket to fund their travels and living expenses. The contestants have to get from the Amazon rainforest in Brazil all the way to the Andes in Chile, at ground level.
One of the celebrities competing is Jeff Brazier, the TV presenter, and he’s with his 19-year-old son Freddy. I was touched by the relationship between Jeff and Freddy, and the lessons coming through from Freddy about how to build fun back into life.
So if you feel like you could do with an injection of excitement, play, joy, laughter and just a general zest for life, stay tuned as I’m going to share four simple ways to reboot and amp up your fun quota, as inadvertently taught by Freddy himself!
In this podcast episode you’ll hear me share:
- What Jeff and Freddy’s background is, before coming on the show (hint – it is riddled with trauma and sadness).
- The four lessons I feel we could all learn from Freddy, who has been teaching his dad to dial down his serious lens on life, and take a lighter approach:
- Get silly
- Don’t overthink things
- Look on the bright side
- Make time for the people and things you love
- How each of these lessons play out on screen with the choices and decisions Freddy makes that show us all the very simple ways to consciously court lightness and reboot our fun quota. (Honestly if you do get to watch it – it will make your heart so full!)
I’d love to hear how you are deliberately getting silly, not overthinking it, looking on the bright side, and making time for the things and people you love, so drop me a line as you play with these things and let me know how you’re getting on.
