Unleashing the power of fun Summer Bucket List Playing Full Out Rita Hyland

Unleashing the Power Of Fun (plus my 4-Part Sensational Summer Blueprint)

power of fun

Listen to the full podcast episode to rediscover what it means to have fun and how ESSENTIAL it is to unleash the power of fun in your life.

The other weekend, my husband and son left for a three-and-a-half-day trip to Boston for a hockey tournament. With that, I was looking forward to doing a few things just for myself – just for fun.

But, instead of diving into my list of fun things to do like immersing myself in a juicy novel, going to the movies alone, sitting in my backyard until the stars came out, or going for ice cream with the Jeep top down, I found myself submerged in more “productive” activity. You know, activities that have a “purpose.” I booked reservations for a future trip, finished several emails, and I even gave the grout in the bathroom a good scrub. 

There it was.  I was seeing in myself what I often hear from so many of my clients.

That is, as much as we crave breaking from our routine for an activity that is for our pure enjoyment, we have a hard time giving ourselves permission to embrace it. 

If you’re someone who finds yourself thinking,  “I’ll enjoy fun once everything that produces tangible results and pleases others is complete,” you’re not alone.

In our uber-goal-focused society, we are conditioned to feel guilty, indulgent, or like we’re underperforming if we are not productive in every moment.  We see fun as a luxury to experience in our optimal future even when it’s right in front of us.

The truth is that  research confirms something quite different:

Far from being frivolous, self-indulgent, irresponsible, or even selfish, having fun is actually ESSENTIAL to a life well played.  

Let’s dive into a little science behind it.

Studies show that when we allow ourselves to unleash the power of fun (to play, so to say), it increases our brain’s production of a protein called BDNF – brain-derived neurotrophic factor – which stimulates nerve growth in areas of our brains associated with decision making. 

Studies also show that adults who continue to play are less prone to dementia and heart disease. Adding play as a regular part of your life obviously fuels our happiness and satisfaction, but more significant than that is the effect playfulness has on increasing the quality and quantity of our relationships and longevity. 

The longest study on happiness, the Grant Study that began in 1938 with 164 sophomores at Harvard University found when these men turned 50, the biggest factor between men who had aged well and those who didn’t was the quality of their relationships.  And playfulness is a solid contributor to improving the quality of the connection in our relationships. 

*If you’re interested in learning more about that study, check out the TEDx talk “What Makes a Good Life” with Robert Waldinger which talks more about the lessons learned from the longest study on happiness.

What we’re seeing is that all work and no play doesn’t just make you boring, it wrecks your physical, mental, emotional, and relationship health too.

All around us are opportunities to have fun. For us to embrace them, however, first we must destroy the idea that we must always be working or that activity must serve some purpose to be worthy. We also must be as deliberate about our fun as we are about our work.

Years ago, I created a simple and fun ritual that allowed me to easily add more playfulness to my days during the summer months. Today, I want to share it with you and challenge you to up-level your fun factor for just the next 90 days. Consider it a Fun Factor Challenge. 

This go-to routine is called my Sensational Summer Blueprint.

I do it at the start of every summer, committing to just 90 days of allowing myself to break with my routines, guaranteeing that I embrace my fun side. Let’s get into it.

Part 1: Create your fun Summer Bucket List.

Simply begin by answering the question:  What would make this summer astonishingly fun?  Write your list.  Be sure to review it at least once a week.  

Part 2: Identify your 3 qualities.

These are the 3 qualities that when you lead from them will ensure you show up to receive and create the experiences on your Bucket List.  This year, mine are: “playful,” “fully engaged,” and “spontaneous.” 

Part 3: Write a letter to yourself 90 days into the future. 

Imagine it’s Labor Day and you’ve had a wildly fun summer. In this letter, include all the small moments you wish for yourself to have alone or with others, along with any big, absurd experiences you desire.  Place the letter in a self-addressed envelope, seal it, and set a reminder to open the letter on Labor Day weekend.  You won’t be the same person you were when you wrote it.  It’s fun to witness yourself.

Part 4: Begin the 1-minute Summer Journal. 

I call it “1-minute” because that’s all it takes. Each day during this challenge, keep a small journal where you jot down 1 thing that day that was fun. You can also do this on a single piece of paper that you keep in your wallet. Be sure to capture something daily. Then 90 days from now which is Labor Day if you are listening to it in real-time, reminisce about the fun. You will double your pleasure when you do…  

And there you have it. I hope you consider giving yourself permission to let the summer unfold and be fueled by what brings you joy and playfulness. True warriors know how to take a break, pause, restore, and have fun.

*If you want to take part in this 90-day Fun Factor Challenge, let me know by emailing me or messaging me on LinkedIn. I want to know that you’re taking part in the challenge and some of the fun things you’re most looking forward to this summer to unleash the power of fun again. 

Tune into this episode of Playing Full Out to learn why fun is an essential part of a well-rounded life and for some ideas to add more fun to your daily life. 

In this episode I share:

  • My 4-part Sensational Summer Blueprint to easily bring more fun into your life again this summer
  • A personal story that reminded me it’s time to get my play on
  • Some examples of things you can add to your summer bucket list

Five Questions To Cultivate Your Team’s Happiness As Well As Your Own

your-teams-happiness

Listen to the full podcast episode to hear how to cultivate your team’s happiness as well as your own:

13 years ago, I saw Tony Robbins speak at a conference. I recall him saying something that really stuck with me.

He said that the quality of your life will be determined by the quality of the questions you ask yourself.

At the time of this conference, this question caught my attention and I thought it was an interesting one. While it stayed in the back of my mind, I didn’t fully appreciate the truth in his statement until years later.

Today, I can say with confidence that the quality of the questions you ask yourself, and others, is everything to your business, leadership, and even your parenting. I now use questions all day, every day, in my work to empower people to see solutions to problems they hadn’t seen before. 

Think about how you’re feeling in the present. In this shaken and noisy world we’re in right now, many describe feeling unproductive, unsettled, and even unhappy, not totally knowing the reason why. 

When we as leaders have these kinds of feelings, that negative energy quickly and easily transfers to those we lead.

This is where the power of empowering questions comes into play massively.  I’m going to provide you with a handful of questions that you can use individually or with your team to empower them to rise to higher levels of decision-making, productivity, and happiness almost instantly.   

These questions are guaranteed to change perspective. And we know that when we change perspectives, that’s where the real change ultimately begins.

Finally, I invite you to tune into our next episode where I will be interviewing Peter Docker, author of the book Leading from the Jump Seat. It’s a fantastic read, and I promise it will be an interview you won’t want to miss.

In this episode on how to cultivate your team’s happiness, I share:

  • How our unhappiness and low vibration easily transfer to those we lead
  • A powerful and simple secret to cultivating your team’s happiness, as well as your own
  • 5 game-changing questions that will help you turn around some of the common workplace problems (as well as your own) 
  • The one thing to ask when you know you need to redirect yourself or others and time matters.

Mastering The Art Of Connection

You can listen to the full podcast episode here:

The single most important skill that you will ever need is not one that is explicitly taught to you, yet it’s ranked #1 in determining how long you will live along with being responsible for your happiness in your personal and work life. The ability I am referring to is connection. To be clear, I’m not talking about a connection that you make on LinkedIn, Facebook, or Twitter from behind a computer screen or iPhone. I define connection as a trusting, authentic, meaningful interaction that gives energy to another person.

So, why does it matter so much? Simply think about the most defining moments and important relationships in your life. These things all happened because of a deeper connection with another person. Connection makes people feel seen, heard, and felt. That’s something all of us want. In order to experience these relationships, we need to give as much as we take. Today I’m taking you on a journey where you will learn how to take your connection factor to the next level and make a bigger impact in return.

In this episode I share:

  • The data and research-proven benefits of connection 
  • My 4 observations of connection based on personal experience and science
  • Ideas to deepen your connection with ease
  • How to eliminate the barriers to connection

How To Use The Power When You Shine Bright

You can listen to the full podcast episode here:

We’re all here to build and experience an incredible life. Perhaps you are already at a point where you feel that you have accomplished that. But when is the last time you shouted your success from the rooftops? This leads to my next big question which is, have you ever diminished your wins, or as I like to say – dimmed your light? I would venture to say if you’re like most the answer is yes. 

I know what it’s like not to share your happiness so as not to make others feel bad or uncomfortable. We do this because we don’t want to seem like a threat or seem different than the next person. It’s all part of our culture, and it needs to change. We are told to be joyful and successful, but not too much. We are taught this very early on in life. I see it already in my own children. Let’s make today the day that changes. Rather than bonding over our weaknesses, how about we begin to speak freely about our talents and victories and in turn, inspire others to do the same.

In this episode I share:

  • Why we tend to diminish our successes and the consequences of doing so
  • Some of the subtle ways we dim ourselves around others
  • The main differentiator when you’re celebrating your wins and successes
  • How to change our approach to celebrating ourselves

Rethink And Unlearn Faster So You Can Reinvent

Rethink And Unlearn Faster So You Can Reinvent

You can listen to the full podcast episode here:

We all have moments that have changed our life in one way or another. When I look back on some of these moments for myself, these changes have occurred for one reason. It has been due to my willingness to rethink the way I was thinking rather than hanging onto previous beliefs simply because that was what was comfortable. If you’re like most, when you look back at your life, I bet you’d see that the most significant moments came from thinking about things differently. So today I want to challenge you to think about how you are looking at situations and assumptions in your life.

This episode is your invitation to challenge and let go of assumptions and opinions that are no longer serving you well, causing you to stagnate or struggle. Challenge what you believe is fact, even when it is uncomfortable to do so. To learn and grow, our perspectives must evolve as well. One cannot be without the other. Master the art of rethinking your assumptions and you will position yourself for years of success and happiness to come.

In this episode I share:

  • Stories of how shifting your thinking can pay off and even save your life
  • The first time I learned that it was possible to unlearn what you previously thought was true
  • The significant benefits of unlearning things in order to reinvent yourself
  • Looking at when we need to rethink and how to do it
  • Practical and actionable steps to rethink your assumptions quicker

4 Strategies To Stop Resisting Your Happy Life

You can listen to the full podcast episode here:

Have you ever gotten so close to getting what you wanted? Or been this close to hitting a goal, but you just couldn’t quite get there? Maybe you see the numerous opportunities right in front of you that would contribute to life-changing growth if you could just close the deal. So what’s the missing link? It’s likely not what you think.

If you aren’t getting what you want, it has nothing to do with your talent, ability, or circumstances. It has everything to do with your capacity to say yes. In other words, it has everything to do with your receiving factor. Today I’m going to give you the 4-step strategy to begin opening yourself to the happiness, success, and level of contribution you are capable of. Using this strategy will ensure you never unknowingly resist the very thing you want.

In this episode, I share:

  • Why not getting what you want is not a achieving but a receiving problem
  • How to determine if you’re resisting what you want and how to turn that around
  • A 4 part strategy to amp up your Receiving Factor so you can accept the opportunities in front of you
  • Combining the tactics PLUS energy to maximize your happiness

Why You Want A Gratitude Game Plan

You can listen to the full podcast episode here:

At one point or another, you’ve likely told yourself – once I get this, or achieve this, or experience that, then I will be happy. You convince yourself that if this one event takes place, your happiness will follow. You aren’t alone in this thinking. We’re all guilty of it. It’s what we’re taught by society. You’ve probably figured out by now that it doesn’t work like that. Not in science, not in physics, not anywhere!

What if I was to tell you that science can show you how to easily raise your baseline of happiness by upwards of 25%? Would you want to know how? There’s one thing that can do that. It’s gratitude. Gratitude is what fuels our happiness, yet so many people don’t practice it because they don’t understand how it works. Luckily, science demonstrates its miraculous return on investment. By actually feeling the emotion of gratitude, you hit buttons in the brain that have the ability to get more of what you want to experience.

In this episode, I share:

  • A life changing 5-step gratitude game plan to use in your business and at home 
  • Why you shouldn’t let your brain “roam” and how gratitude can reign it back in
  • The powerful shifts that occur when we operate in a constant state of gratitude
  • How to identify gratitude, even during challenging times
  • The important link between gratitude and frequency every leader must know

Right now there is a lot of division, struggle, and chaos in the world. It’s weighing heavily on us and our leadership of ourselves and others.

The Power of Subtraction

The Power of Subtraction

You can listen to the full podcast episode here:

When we are facing a challenge, so often our first reaction is to think about what we can ADD to solve the problem. It’s our brain’s impulse to avoid scarcity that compels us to add. We think we need to hire more people, get a new strategy, or buy more things to overcome the problem…when in reality, we need to do the complete opposite. 

Here’s a secret:  the best way to expand — whether it’s your work, career, success, happiness, or growth —  is to eliminate. So, rather than rushing to think about what you can add to improve your current circumstances, pause and think about what you need to first let go of. This may be a self-imposed rule, a thought, a feeling, a habit, or a characteristic of your identity. Whether you are the CEO of a business or the CEO of your household, this episode will show you three specific ways to use the power of subtraction today to get more of what you want. You’ll learn why when in doubt…you should always subtract.

In this episode, I share:

  • 3 key areas to consider subtracting from your life and how to do it
  • How to evaluate the rules you’re making up that are holding you back from making the changes you desire
  • The cost of adding rather than eliminating
