What are you doing today that is fun? I don’t mean things like getting my desk cleaned off, or finishing up the laundry. I mean really fun!
Do you even remember what fun is or know what’s fun to you?
As we grow in years we get farther and farther away from the part of us that seeks and recognizes fun. When we get too far away, we get out of balance. That imbalance causes things to start going wrong in our mind and body. Depression, anxiety, physical illness, fatigue, insomnia and weight gain are just a few of the problems that can follow.
I challenge you to make a list of 20 fun activities that you enjoy. If this is easy for you, congratulations! That means you have stayed in touch with the child inside that helps keep you alive and healthy.
However, if it is difficult, just know that you don’t have to do the whole list at once. Make the list and keep it with you. Hopefully just initiating it will keep it in the back of you mind and as you go through your week, you’ll be in tune and start remembering things you enjoy.
For inspiration, here are a few of mine:
listening to music – loud!
getting to know new people
going to garage sales and finding totally useless crap to buy
driving fast with the windows down
telling stories
I would love to see some of the things on your lists. Leave a comment and tell me some of the fun things you enjoy!
