Add your own ideas but the key it to be purposeful about it – if you are waiting for the fun gods to descend upon you, you may have a long wait in store. Go out and grab fun by the horns and create a fun ride!

Kate sent these Balancing Life with Humour Tips over for you.

We all deal with stress differently: Today’s crisis is tomorrows great joke.

Doing what you love: Finding what you love can be hard work, the key is to always try new stuff and find not only what you enjoy but also something you admire. Whether it’s a new language, pottery classes, writing, joining a community theatre… Always be producing even it it’s for 5 minutes a day. This is key to balancing your life.

Get Rid of the “Shoulds” replace them with “Coulds”: Once you accept where you are, you are able to be more present to the life you are in and that’s when you can change everything.

Bringing Humour Into Our Lives: We choose anger because we don’t know what else to do to get the results we want. Whether it’s in the playroom or in the boardroom. Don’t take yourself so seriously. Humour makes people act nicer to each other. Humour motivates people to work harder and feel better about themselves. Humour thrives on inclusivity and so does the workplace.
Always Listen to Yourself: Your intuition will always lead to answers and your fear and guilt will always lead to more questions. Whether it’s a feeling in your stomach or a voice in your head. Never second-guess your internal compass.
Put a twist on what stresses you/ exaggerate your stress
Laughter wasn’t created in a vacuum it needs people to spread it
Laugh out loud
Fun cancels out stress and brings everyone into the moment
Let of your the inner critic
Live life to your fullest potential and follow your dreams

Of course we won’t have the energy to have fun or be funny if we haven’t been taking care of ourselves first. Kate had a great line, “Your leisure time should not be folding laundry.”

Make sure to take regular short break from Mommy-hood to reconnect with yourself.

Best, Steph
