Manage episode 481165376 series 1009005
Hey friends, Chase here.
Ever feel like you're taking life a little too seriously?
Wake up. Work. Hustle. Repeat. Somewhere along the way, we stopped playing—and started grinding through our days like machines.
Why We Get Stuck in Serious ModeWe were taught that being serious means being responsible. That fun is a distraction. That joy is something we earn.
But let’s be real—seriousness without joy just leads to burnout.
Play Isn’t the Opposite of ProgressPlay is where creativity begins. It’s what makes challenges fun and failure less scary. It helps you breathe, think, connect, and feel again.
You Don’t Need Permission to Lighten UpYou already know how to play, you’ve just forgotten. But it’s still there, waiting.
So try it. Loosen the grip. Smile more. Make life a little less rigid and a lot more yours.
Until next time, stay curious, and stay in the game.
