Is having fun a thing for you? ” no time for those things”.

“I cannot play games. that is for kids”. Really don’t have the time for a pillow fight!

“Don’t you see that I have work, later we do that”

Are these some of your statements? When was the last time you went for a walk, and it wasn’t for exercise?  Was it just a fun nature walk? Has it been a while since you sat down and played a board game? How long has it been since you laughed until you cried? Have you ever had a pillow fight? These are ways to just have some simple but crazy fun. Is having fun a thing for you?

Life is not about seriousness and work ethic all the time. There must be a balance and for the most part, we never seem to balance these properly. We get up and go to work, and we do not come back in until it’s almost time for bed and the routine continues.

Let us remember that we have to spend time with ourselves and for recuperation. We need to have fun as this is the best way to relax the mind. Those who you work for can change you in the blink of an eye if, God forbid something should ever happen to you. The thing is while you are there working they could be out enjoying themselves but you are there trying to make an impression. This might not be a bad thing. It might even be the professional and the right thing but if you should die of stress when it could have been avoided who will benefit? That’s the question. So, is having fun a thing for you?

The idea of self-preservation is one thing that we should all keep in mind. When we are young and goal-orientated we do not usually think of this and so we push the hardest. It is imperative however that even at this stage that we learn how to balance. We do this so that life does not just pass us by sitting around a desk or doing whatever we do for a livelihood. We need to enjoy that which is around us. If we can go to the beach or drive to the country we should. Time should always be made to have fun with friends as a part of the schedule. Embracing your hobby should be a fun time for you. Keep in mind as well that your best work is done when you have a rested mind.

 Having fun outdoors as well as indoors is all to your benefit. Take some time out from your busy schedule and have some fun today. Having fun could help your mind body and soul and ultimately your overall health. I hope this does not sound like preaching but it needs to be said.
