Do you get tired of doing the same old stuff? Are there chances to do fun stuff in your life? I know I do and yeah, there are in my life.Sometimes you have just got to have fun. You have to get out there and try new things.
Here is what I want to accomplish by ____________ set date. Or _____________ is what I have always wanted to do. Or what about some things you would like to learn from that you did in your life - that is still a positive view. Most of all have fun with it because that is our goal, right?
Time: Maybe there is no day or date or time table at all for you. Maybe family is a huge deal and because of that, time is a big thing.
Work: For most of us, work is a big thing, so we have to find time to try to have fun. We see movies and that version of people cutting loose and acting like they are having fun is unrealistic, silly or unproductive. But laughing and having fun is a productive thing in and of itself, right? If we are having a better day because we feel just a little more optimistic, that makes our work life just a little better too.
Movement: Just having the ability to make ourselves relax is getting harder to do in today's society. This is such a fast-paced nation in general that we keep moving in it and basically only vacations seem to make us stop and smell anything. By then it might be sour or it could reek and it might just be too late. Time is in perpetual movement.
Think for a second - reflect.. What does it take to make you slow down your pace in life? Do you feel wound up tight?
We do not have to move slower or be a bunch of goof-offs, just take a second to enjoy something, to think good of ourselves because we enjoyed something about our day or the sun shining or the birds or a balloon or something simple.
One time I saw a person write five random things about themselves and that could be one way to start. Does that help you start to relax enough to think about having fun? Well cool, then do it! What about five things you like about yourself? That could have a positive effect and help you find ways to just kick back and relax. Or five things you want to do before you die. A little out there for some people but not for others. It is just the idea that I try to do something, today, something fun.
"More of the time we have constraints in daily life because we are adults but I think it is the little stuff in between that matters the most." - That is my quote from myself today cuz I think it is well said. Stop and smell the roses or go full tilt, whatever!
Enjoy: Laugh, smile, enjoy what you have. It might just be gone before you know it. I think the adage about telling others you love them more often is true; we should learn to say it before it is too late. It is about who we are today that matters most to everyone around us and who we are inside as well. It makes us who we are I think because we have control over what shapes us.
Sometimes just do things that you never saw yourself doing, like having pizza and beer in the morning. Or try skipping work and going to an amusement park with your kids instead. Try crazy stuff that is just plain fun. If you want to do it and it is not too risky or even if it is and that is you then hey, sometimes you just gotta have fun!
