I think I received at least 5 things in my inbox this week that had to do with having more fun. Maybe it’s a hint from the universe. There were articles from the New York Times, webinars hosted and things posted on Instagram. It really made me think more about what having fun really means to me. Personally, I know that I need and want to have more fun in my life. Laugh more. Have more deep belly laughs. I can’t remember the last time my face hurt from smiling too much. I want that in my life. Do you want to have more fun?
I especially loved this article from NPR that listed 5 easy ways to make sure you’re having more fun.
Stop worrying about how happy you are. In contrast, having fun is pretty easy to achieve.
Find your FUN magnets. Are there activities that you’d like to try that sound fun? It’s really what tickles your sense of delight.
Put fun on the calendar. Once you identify what’s fun to you, schedule more of it.
Unplug. Technology can be the enemy of fun. We’re always connected to our phone. Checking that last email. And that means we’re not present. Real fun involves sensory experiences and often interactions with others.
Share the fun and amplify it. Try sharing what brings you delight with others. Send your friend a silly photo that makes you laugh.
What fun will you schedule in this week?
