Say No To More Work And Yes To More Play. Here’s Why.

I watched this TEDTALK today, while drinking my mud water (a combo of cacao, maca, turmeric, cinnamon, vanilla, mushrooms, black pepper and who knows what else I put it in).

But I digress.

I got so tuned into the TedTalk that I forgot about my drink.

It’s about keeping your hum alive — the hum you get from the work you do.

The more balls in the air, the more you need to work.

You love the work, you love the hum. You’re passionate about what you do. It feeds your soul.

You are the hum.

So you end up working all the time.

Eventually, overworking kills your hum. It breaks your hum. It quiets your hum.

When the hum is gone, you’re gone.

What do you do when the thing you do turns to dust? You disappear too.

If you love what you do and this gives you the hum, when the hum stops, who are you?

What are you? Who are you?

Are you still a titan? Are you great?

What if you tune into the hum of life?

To keep your hum at work you need time to play.

The real hum then comes alive — your confidence, peace, love, joy.

You’re not your ego, your big goals, or your workaholic habit.

You’re so much more than that.

Say YES to play.

Say Yes to Joy. Say Yes to Love. Say Yes to what feels good.

Because as much as you like working, you can build a legendary life with impactful work and relaxed success — it’s the only way to make sure your hum is sustainable. I call it creating sustainable LIVEWORKPLAY Design. Hum all the time.

“Work doesn’t work without play.” Shonda Rhimes
