The other day I was checking out a website for a comedy club (didn’t end up making it to the show, but that’s a story for another day…) and I was struck by the design of the site. There wasn’t anything particularly fancy about it, but it was colorful and had bold shapes and it made me happy to look at. Then I started to think about how seriously we tend to take ourselves and how we can all use a bit more whimsy and fun in our lives. Here are some ways to not take yourself too seriously and incorporate fun into your everyday life.

No one cares what you’re doing
This is not meant to sound harsh! The fact is, most of us live as the star of a movie in our own heads. We’re too focused on ourselves and our own problems to spend much time worrying about what anyone else is doing. That means that you can rest assured that whatever you’re taking super seriously and beating yourself up about probably doesn’t matter all that much to anyone else. Relaxing in the knowledge that you’re doing your best and no one (expect you!) is going to remember little mistakes can free you to actually grow and not get bogged down with taking yourself too seriously.
