🎠 You're not too grown-up for play—in fact, it might be exactly what your spirit needs.

In this episode of Merriment Mondays Live, we’re talking about how reconnecting with small moments of play can shift your mood, regulate your nervous system, and help you feel more like yourself.

🎈 Why adults stop playing (and why it matters)
🎈 The 8 Play Personalities—find your personal flavor of fun
🎈 Why microplay is one of the easiest nervous system resets
🎈 A live interactive doodle challenge you can try at home!

Plus, some important updates:

✨ The Merriment Makers and Feel Good Troop have shifted into lifetime Vaults!
✨ Existing members: remember to use your special discount before May 5th!
✨ We just passed over 200 members inside Positive Pulse! 🎉
✨ Starting in May, Merriment Mondays will happen every other week—make sure you join Positive Pulse to stay inspired between episodes!

If you are not silly, you must become silly. If you are silly, you must stay silly. If you used to be silly but have stopped, you must make all efforts to return to silliness. - Foone

Our next Joy Archetype is The Quirky Nostalgic! 🤸🏻‍♀️

Life is serious enough. Your weird, colorful, childlike side isn’t just welcome — it’s needed.

🌈 You’re not too old for joy.

You’re not too much.

You’re not silly for loving bubbles, stickers, cereal with marshmallows, or glitter socks.

This weekend, give yourself permission to be a kid again—even for just a moment. 🍦

✨ In Positive Pulse, we celebrate whimsy every single day.

Come play with us if you need that reminder. 🎨💛

Your feelings only last ⌛90 seconds—if you let

Your feelings only last ⌛90 seconds—if you let them move through you.

But when we judge them, label them, or try to turn them into a life lesson before we’re ready… we freeze them in place.

🩷 You don’t have to be grateful for your pain today.

🧡 You don’t have to make it your identity.

💛 You don’t have to introduce yourself with your diagnosis.

💚 You don’t have to carry every new shift in your life like a permanent name tag.

🌼 You are more than what happens to you.

🌼 Your reality can change without your identity needing to shift.

This is a clip from Merriment Mondays Live episode: 🟣 “When ‘Just Think Positive’ Doesn’t Help”

🎥 Watch the full replay now in the 🧠 Mental Health section of Positive Pulse — it’s totally free!

🛝 Remember fun? Like... ridiculous, no-purpose, belly-laugh fun?

When you’re an adult, it can start to feel like you’re only allowed to play if it’s productive, approved, or has a calendar invite. But joy doesn’t need permission slips.

This Monday, I’m teaching a free class on: The Power of Play: How to Reignite Joy as an Adult 🎈

💛 Why play isn’t just for kids

💛 Quick ways to reconnect to yourself through fun

💛 A silly, joyful activity we’ll do live (no prep needed!)

This class is for the weirdos, the burnt-out babes, and the delight seekers.

😜 Come take a deep breath, giggle a little, and remember who you are.

🤩 This is why we do it.

At our last Operation Merriment event, everyone got a flyer full of tear-off compliments. And something beautiful happened…

💌 A stranger and his son stopped to grab one.

💌 Another family came over right after and smiled as they read them.

💃 And in the background, a mom started dancing with her daughter—just because.

We didn’t plan for that moment. But joy has a way of showing up when you create space for it.

This is what Operation Merriment is all about:

🎨 Creating art

🫶 Spreading kindness

🌊 Witnessing the ripple

You’re invited to experience it for yourself.

💛 Sometimes joy looks like glitter…

Sometimes it looks like chalk…

And sometimes—it looks like 😀 that smile.

In Operation Merriment, we create joy on purpose. We gather together, make guerrilla art, and leave it around Baltimore for strangers to find. And the ripple effect is real.

🎁 Don’t just take my word for it—here’s what people are saying:

💬 “It filled my cup in a way I didn’t know I needed.”

💬 “I remembered how powerful small things are.”

Come join us and experience it for yourself.
