FUN IN THE SUN
Dear Soul Sister,
Welcome to July, a month dedicated to something we often forget to prioritize: Having Fun! This month, we’re focusing on joy, playfulness, and reconnecting with the part of you that knows how to truly let go and enjoy life.
Before we dive in, I have to give a special shoutout because July is also my daughter’s birthday month! Happy Birthday to her; the light of my life who constantly reminds me of the pure joy in living.
Alright, let’s get into it!
Fun isn’t just a luxury; it’s a necessity. When we allow ourselves to play, laugh, and explore, we tap into our creativity, reduce stress, and strengthen our relationships. But so many of us feel guilty for prioritizing joy. We tell ourselves we’ll have fun when the work is done or when we’ve "earned it."
Let me tell you something: you don’t have to earn joy. It’s your right. Fun doesn’t just happen after life is perfect; it’s what helps make life meaningful.
I used to be the queen of "busy." My calendar was packed, and I thought being productive was the only way to feel accomplished. But then I hit a point where I realized I wasn’t enjoying the life I was working so hard to build. So, I made a change. I started carving out time for fun; whether it was dancing in my living room, trying a new hobby, or saying yes to spontaneous adventures. Those moments didn’t just bring joy; they brought balance and perspective.
When was the last time you had fun just for the sake of it? How did it make you feel?
Three Ways to Prioritize Fun This Month
1. Schedule It
Yes, put "fun" on your calendar! Whether it’s a solo date, a game night with friends, or a weekend adventure, make it a priority.
2. Try Something New
Novelty sparks joy and keeps life exciting. Take a class, visit a new place, or try a hobby you’ve always been curious about.
3. Be Present
When you’re having fun, give yourself permission to be fully in the moment. Turn off your phone, forget about your to-do list, and let yourself enjoy.
July’s Challenge: Do one thing each week that brings you pure, unfiltered joy. It doesn’t have to be big or extravagant. Just ask yourself, What would feel fun right now? and go for it. Life is meant to be enjoyed, and this is your month to let loose.
If you’re feeling disconnected from fun and don’t know where to start, let’s work together to reconnect with your playful, joyful side. Life is too short to live without laughter and lightness. Schedule a consultation with me today! Let’s create a plan to bring more joy into your life.
Fun isn’t a distraction from your goals; it’s fuel for your soul. You have EVERYTHING you need to live a life filled with joy, adventure, and light-hearted moments. I believe in you. I support you. I got you.
Here’s to a month of belly laughs, spontaneous adventures, and unapologetic joy. And once again, a big Happy Birthday to my amazing daughter; thank you for inspiring me to celebrate life in the most beautiful ways.
You got this!
With peace & SO much love,
Coach Lori
