Fun is important to my health. I have a demanding career and family responsibilities and balancing these two extremely important parts of my life is difficult at times. However, I understand that making time for fun is essential to living a happy, fulfilling life. For this reason, I make it a point to inject a dose of fun into my everyday life.
Each morning, I wake up a few minutes earlier than usual in order to indulge in my favorite activities. Sometimes I go walking with my partner or head to the local coffee shop with my best friends. Other times, I simply craft at my kitchen table or watch my favorite television shows that I record just for this purpose.
Some people may say that it is selfish to devote so much time to myself, but I highly disagree. I have a family and responsibilities but I am more than a spouse, parent or a professional; I am still an individual!
I deserve to indulge in my favorite activities and have fun living my life!
In addition to my personal fun time, I try to plan activities that the entire family will enjoy.
I understand that my family is constantly evolving. Therefore, it is important that we are diligent about rediscovering our individual interests and our favorite activities as a family.
Today, I loosen up a bit. I am comfortable with having more days of youthful fun. This is what keeps my spirit alive and my relationships strong!
Self-Reflection Questions:
1. What activities do I consider fun?
2. How can I incorporate more fun into my life?
3. Why should I make fun an important part of each day?
