Play Date with Teresa Thomas: Fun is Fuel

I pulled two things from that that I wrote down on the piece of paper.

The first one is, you know, I'm not a big fan of the idea of manifesting from your couch.

I've tried it.

Didn't work.

But that being open to something, that's where the intention setting comes to me.

It's like you're almost bringing it forward in a way that now you're looking for it.

You're open to it.

And when you share it with other people, to your point, I'm I've had more people tell me, I don't know, in the last six months, a very similar story.

And it can be small things like the drum jam, right? Like you bring it up and somebody goes, oh, well, that's happening down the block.

Or, oh, I have a set of golf clubs that I'd sell you for $25 or whatever it may be.

It's just amazing to hear those stories.

And I really do think it's about setting the intention and then having your eyes open and being open to it.

But I also think the other thing I heard in there, which is something that I talk about a lot is giving ourselves permission.

And as women, we don't do that very well.

So we'll buy our children whatever they need, but we're not going to buy ourselves a latte.

So that permission inside of these 50 fun things like, yeah, I can travel or yeah, I'm You know, maybe $8 on a cup of coffee isn't practical, but boy, it made my day better.

Or think about who I ran into or the fun I gave that barista that day.

Like there's so many benefits if we just open up and give ourselves that permission.

Do you feel the same way?

I'm so glad that you said that because you're right.

A lot of people, I think, especially women, I know for myself, used to be like, oh, I don't want to bother anyone.

Oh, I don't want to say what I want.

And what I've learned is that when we express what we want, we're not harming anyone.

In fact, people want to show up and be there for each other.

And it's fun to help someone to be able to do or experience something that they wanted.
