Fun isn’t something that is given or done to you, it is something that you allow yourself to experience.
As humans, we usually get caught up in “grown up” things like, work, making money, raising kids, and so on all of these things tend to make it so we easily forget how to just have fun.
Now I’m talking about the fun you had when you were a kid you know the kind I’m talking about… the fun you had when you ran through the sprinklers for the first time in the hot summer, the fun you had when you played with a puppy who would not stop licking your face, or the fun you had seeing new things as a family, like Disneyland or the grand canyon or the local pumpkin patchJ. There is a plethora of examples if you think about it. The fun I’m talking about you having as a kid was the kind that came from deep within you!
You see this kind of fun in small children who are so busy in the NOW that a special look comes over them just because they are having so much fun!
This fun of pure delight didn’t have to come from a big end result of hanging in there for the job to finish… but good news for you is that you can find this type of fun again!
You have to be willing to remember and to reconnect to you, you remember the you I’m talking about – fun loving, adventure seeker, fun finding magnet who is just biting at the bit ready to go!
So how do you begin to experience FUN again? Start by recalling what made you really happy as a kid, what was Fun? What was it that caused you to giggle so hard you almost peed or at least made your tummy hurt with delight? Spend a few minutes thinking abut several different examples, feel them, hear them, you might even find yourself laughing gin at them. Just experience it again in the NOW and remember what they really felt like.
Ok so here is the hint to fun…. pure happiness and fun happens when we are fully engaged with our world and ourselves in the NOW. It is not planned it is not scheduled it happens in the NOW and it comes out of you when you just let loose, allow yourself to experience it on a soul level.
You were born with the ability to have fun, so its time to remember that it is possible to do!
Don’t you think it is time to start living your life with remembering that pure fun isn’t something that is handed to you, it is something that you allow yourself to experience in the NOW to help you become a better you through laughter, fun and love.
Peace and Happiness
