Focus on Fun: Rediscovering Yourself After Motherhood

It's hard to focus on fun! Have you ever noticed how easy it is to put fun on the back burner? Life gets busy, responsibilities pile up, and before we know it, the things we do just for fun start to feel like a luxury instead of a priority. But what if making space for fun was actually one of the best things we could do for ourselves? 

Rediscovering Yourself After Motherhood

For years, most of my fun came from experiencing life through my kids—watching them explore, play, and enjoy new experiences. But now that they’re older, I’ve realized I feel a little rusty at making my own fun and I need to start rediscovering myself after motherhood (not that motherhood is over, but when your kids are teens, they require your help in different ways than when they were young and you realize it wouldn't hurt to start preparing for empty nest time!).

 I’ve also noticed how often I prioritize productivity over play. If something doesn’t feel “useful” or “important,” it’s easy to push it aside. But avoiding fun has almost become a habit—and that’s a habit I want to reverse! 

I love this quote from Oprah: "What you focus on expands, and when you focus on the goodness in your life, you create more of it." 

If that’s true, then focusing on fun should help us create more fun, right? That’s exactly what I’m hoping to do with my new Focus on Fun series!
