As they say in New Orleans, "Laissez les bons temps rouler." And if you've ever had the pleasure of visiting, you know they mean it. That city knows how to have a good time. They have good music on every corner, good food found easily and cheaply, and a sense of celebration permeating through the streets. The vibes are high if you will.

Letting go and having fun is an important part of being human that we too often overlook. We're so focused on "getting things done" and "being productive" that the art of leisure gets lost. You know this if you've ever worked super hard for a vacation only to get there and not be able to relax. You've been looking forward to it so much, but you have to defrost your work muscles for a couple days, and by then it's almost time to leave. It's one of life's cruelest realities.

Luckily, though, there are some ways to build up that leisure tolerance even when you're not on vacation. You can start by playing some high-energy music when you're in the car to the grocery store. Then you can buy a box of funfetti cake mix just for the hey of it. And then you can look at some memes while you eat your freshly-baked cupcakes. Sounds like a good plan, no?
