We need fun to function better

We need fun to function better

It’s nearly playtime – the weekend is here. Firstly, thank you to all the people that have reached out and had free happy chats with me due to COVID19. I am extremely proud of the people, over the last four months, that openly shared their stories and their vulnerabilities with me. The conversations were vast and varied, talking about numerous things. More often than not I didn’t talk, I simply listened and held space.

Fear, depression, anxiety and loneliness were a common theme. Some strategies that we implemented to combat these concerns were; taking up fun activities/hobbies, exercise – especially out in nature, interactions (COVID style) with friends, family and colleagues, and getting a good night sleep which enabled people to function a lot better.

As the world slowly gets back to the new normal, I have stopped my free happy chats. In saying that I will always help, when I can, someone in need. It’s always an honour to provide guidance, support, structure and motivation to transform people to be living a happier, healthier, calmer and more productive life. Not only did the people that I talk with benefit, so did the people they interact daily with, their work colleagues, their community and their loved ones.

What fun activity are you doing on the weekend?
