Our Top 10 Ways to Have More Fun:

1) Set the goal of playing more. After all, what’s the point of setting a goal like being thin, having more money or having your own business if you’re not enjoying yourself?

2) Decide what fun means for you by making a list of things that you enjoyed doing as a kid. Go over your list and highlight what still sounds appealing. Then explore what you want to try!

3) Schedule time to play in your agenda, because if you don’t schedule it, it’s unlikely to happen.

4) Create a play drawer for those times when you need a break from life or work, and you just want to be silly. You might include puzzles, board games, coloring books, Lego’s — whatever inspires you!

5) Combine fun with other activities. Think of the things on your to-do list and then look for ways to combine them to make them more fun.

6) Have more fun at work. Brainstorm with colleagues how you can bring more fun and humor into the workplace.

7) Make playdates with your significant other to strengthen your relationship and keep playfulness alive.

8) Befriend a fun person because the people you relate with will have an enormous impact on your life.

9) Hang out with kids who innately know how to play and have fun.

10) Add creativity to daily activities such as singing while you cook or dancing while brushing your teeth.

EPISODE 23 [solo]: Harnessing Gratitude – The Law of Attraction in Action

zismsmz@gmail.com (Matt Zinman) — Wed, 14 Oct 2020 08:00:00 +0000

Would you rather live life by design or by default? The thing about gratitude is that it doesn’t happen by itself. The same may not be true of the Law of Attraction. Whether you believe in it is less relevant than the role of gratitude in your life. Positive experiences like happiness, joy, inspiration and love rely on making a conscious decision and effort to feel grateful. This means that harnessing gratitude goes to the very heart of mindfulness and life enrichment.

EPISODE 11 [solo]: Perception Is

zismsmz@gmail.com (Matt Zinman) — Thu, 20 Aug 2020 08:00:04 +0000

It literally shapes our world – from our happiness and inner monologue to how we interpret our interactions and size up others. Perception is truly foundational to our quality of life. The good news is that we have the ability and opportunity to assert our free will to make choices about how we perceive our experiences. Being objective and maintaining an amplified awareness about our perceptions will foster a more accurate and optimistic reality (at least that’s my perception).
