During a recent Fun Workshop at my co-working space, Office Nomads, I asked "Why is it important to have fun?"

Here's what the group came up with:

• More happiness
• More engagement
• Interest
• Creates energy
• More surprise
• Laughter
• Endorphins [PS: laughing is a natural endorphin]
• Helps change perspective
• Optimism
• Curiosity
• Flow state: Energy out > energy in
• Creativity
• More resourceful
• Freedom
• Exploration
• Meaningful connections

Imagine a life -- and a job -- filled with this list.

If you could have a bit more of one of these qualities in your life, which would you choose?

What is one easy step you could take -- in thought or action -- that would add some fun, engagement, surprise, energy to your work life in the next week?

Have fun experimenting. xo
