Making Fun A Habit Series
30 days to add fun into your creative practice. I will be going through Mike Brennan's Make Fun A Habit workbook and help you make fun a habit. I had the pleasure of interviewing Mike on my other podcast Find A Podcast About and talking about his podcast Creative Chats. This workbook leads you through steps to rekindle the fun in your life and get you in a space where you are your most creative. This is a 30 day book and I will be tackling each day as if it were a week and providing you insights on how you can use his ideas in your creative practice. Each chapter is broken up with a short story, questions to ponder, action items and tips.
The #1 Rule, there are no rules
We all have to follow some rules, whether we create them for ourselves or they are imposed on us by others. Why not make rules for yourself that clearly define what your values are and then let others know about them. They will create boundaries that others will respect. I used to be against all rules, but then I found that I could be creative within the confines of the rules and usually worked hard when they were imposed on someone else. Now I am the rule maker with my kids, it is tough, but I try to help them understand why we do what we do.
Question to ponder
- Would you describe yourself as a rule breaker or a rule keeper? Why?
- What were some of your favorite childhood games? What did you like about them?
- What rules did you have a hard time with? Why? How would you have rewritten the rules?
Action item: Write your own personal life rules Think about why they are important to you. Consider if you could make your life anything you wanted, what would it look like?
Tips:
- Reflect on your values and desires
- Start small and build gradually
- Be specific and actionable
- Write them down
