"We have the autonomy to take moments of fun and expand and magnify their usefulness."

We're at the half-way point of our "Fun and Wellbeing" mini-series, co-hosted with Dr. Mike Rucker, author of The Fun Habit: How the pursuit of joy and wonder can change your life.

To recap the previous episodes, we talked about:

How peppering your life with fun is better for your wellbeing than the active pursuit of happiness (Happiness Paradox).
How we can tweak our lives in small ways to find more whimsy.
We also explored the PLAY model to understand how to use our time to maximise our opportunities for fun (habit bundling).
We look at fun at work - how to craft more opportunities to find fun at work and how to make sure our time off work incorporates fun.
And lastly, we share tips on how to get a balance or a blend of both work life and personal life.

In this episode, we dive into:

Savouring, Relishing, and Reminiscing - these are SAVOUR tools used to amplify fun's power.
How to find moments of fun and amplify their usefulness in order to enhance your wellbeing.
The tools that help us savor, relish, and reminisce.
The importance of preserving tangible mementos to take us back to fun moments
How to create a repository of fun memories such as a memory garden, and
Unpacking bittersweet experiences to uncover their fun
