I was recently asked to consider how I could bring more fun into my life and realised that I was slightly stumped by the question. I struggled to identify how and when I allow myself to have fun. And as usual that got me thinking and noticing, and here we are with an episode devoted to the importance of having fun.&amp;nbsp; In this episode we are going to explore:  what fun is; why it\u2019s so important \u2013 what it does for us; the three elements essential for fun; and how we can have more fun.
