Did you know that people who do things they think are “fun” are twenty times more likely to consider themselves “happy” overall? Sounds pretty obvious when we lay it out like that but how many of us constantly choose “work” over “play” and then wonder why our souls never dance and our hearts rarely laugh?
What are some things you plan to do “just for fun”?
Some Ideas:
Host a Play Date
Set aside an hour every night to read a good book, the paper or flip through magazines
Go out for coffee or cocktails with someone
Go for a long walk
Take a weekend road trip to a nearby town
Paint or create something
Go and play Bingo at a local Bingo Hall (seriously, it’s actually fun)
Invite friends over to watch a movie, play a board or video game, or just relax and catch up
Go and play darts with someone
Hit up a local comedy show
Slip into a matinee with a big box of your favorite treats
Pick up the phone and call a friend you love chatting with
Go for a bike ride
Go Dancing
Spend a day at an arcade
Check out a local band
