Stop taking life so seriously (enjoy it more!)

Over the weekend, I went to a bachelorette party.
You know the kind, full of ridiculous games, questionable outfit choices, way too many sexual jokes, and at least one moment where you think, “Wow… we are absolutely the main characters right now.”

It was fun.
Like, actual, hysterical-laughing, nothing-else-matters kind of fun.

And it hit me:
I need to bottle this energy and bring it into my day-to-day life.
Because lately, I’ve noticed I can be… kind of intense and too focused on productivity or achieving something.
Always thinking about my next project. My to-do list. The future.
Basically, I’ve been living in my head instead of in my actual life.

But at the bachelorette?
I wasn’t thinking about emails or algorithms or whether my socks matched.
I was just there.
Dancing in someone’s pool house, making bad decisions with good people, and feeling so grateful for tiny, silly moments that don’t matter in the grand scheme, except they totally do.

So here’s my little reminder (for you and for me):

1. Do the ridiculous thing. Wear the matching t-shirts. Say yes to the 3rd round of never have I ever. Laugh so hard you cry.
2. Don’t overthink your own existence. Nobody’s analyzing your every move like you are. Let it go.
3. Find a “bachelorette moment” in your normal week. No, you don’t need a sash and champagne. Just something fun for no reason, a coffee date, a spontaneous walk, a silly photo with a friend.

Life’s too short to be only about productivity.
Sometimes the most important thing you can do is stop taking yourself so seriously…
and just show up for the moment you’re in.
