Hello, hello, and welcome to the new mindset who this podcast my name is case Kenny at case.cannyon

Instagram and this is my weekly podcast where I create short no BS episodes dedicated to helping you be the person

You're meant to be leave your comfort zone and live a fulfilling and purposeful life. Let's go

Alright, welcome to episode 75 let's be a rather short and sweet episode. It's the Thursday after New Year

Everyone's back everyone's back at work if you have a 9 to 5 and frankly I've kind of really sensed it

It seems like everyone's gotten all serious again everyone is a little bit tense a little bit stressed and that kind of bugs me frankly because if you know me you know that I really do like to keep things like positive

I try to joke around a lot I try to laugh a lot and I'm really just not feeling right now I'm not feeling it from people like I get that you know going back to the grind going back to work isn't ideal

But I really do hate to see it kind of kill our spirits kind of filter out our true selves because we're very different when we're on holiday break or on the weekends

So I want to talk about that for just a couple minutes talk about why I really want to advocate for more laughter in 2019

I'm the first to admit that just saying that sounds like a live laugh love kind of quotes a little hokey it's a little cheesy but I really do mean it and I have some thoughts here specifically I have some thoughts on how you can continue to be your weird ass self outside of the office but most importantly also inside of the office because I really do see that as a source of the problem that I'm describing here and I want to help fix that for you

So excited for this episode excited to talk about laughing joking laughing at your own jokes laughing at other people's jokes falling laughing at that everything in between so I'm excited for that

I actually did a kind of similar episode maybe 20 or 30 episodes ago that one was all about you know how I don't think you should take things so seriously in life how you shouldn't take life so seriously

and you guys all seem to really enjoy it because I think we can all agree that it's true life's meant to be enjoyed we're supposed to laugh smile just be weird as fuck everything

and again with the new year in full swing and everyone back at work I wanted to do a version of that episode again in a new way kind of in fresh context

because to my point a minute ago frankly I've I've sensed the mood has seriously changed from the holidays where everyone was relaxed happier just generally more enthusiastic

and now we're back at work in the office on the grind and sensing our mentality's are different or at least I've observed what I think is a pretty stark difference here

so specifically in this episode I want to talk about the context of your nine to five your job you know I want to talk about how to be yourself and laugh and have fun even while at your nine to five
