Try This Today: 6 Small Ways to Have More Fun Even When Life Feels Hard

In this episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast, Mel discusses the noticeable decline in fun and lightheartedness in modern life, attributing it to burnout, stress, and the curated nature of social media. She emphasizes the critical importance of incorporating "micro moments of fun"—laughter, silliness, and joy—into daily routines for enhancing happiness, resilience, and overall well-being. Mel shares personal anecdotes, such as attending a themed golf tournament, and cites research supporting the health benefits of laughter and joy. She then provides six actionable strategies for injecting fun back into life, including embracing small, joyful changes, saying "yes" to new experiences, being comfortable with imperfection, taking initiative in creating fun, disregarding others' judgments, and rejecting the notion of being too old to enjoy life.
