Spend time with friends: This is the glue that holds many
together. It offers a safe place to vent frustrations, share dreams and
aspirations. Having fun with your friends is usually easy, especially
when you
love each other’s company. Plan a weekly get-together with your good
friends,
and try to eat out every week. Not only will you enjoy good scenery and
dishes,
but the change can spice up your conversations as well.
Get a little exercise with friends: Invite your friend to the
gym and see how fast the pounds will melt off and you will hardly even
notice you are
exercising.
Have fun cooking: Like many activities, cooking is more fun
with a friend. Start off with a complicated recipe and work together to
create
something tasty and sophisticated, or try to create a culinary
masterpiece
together.
Pamper yourself: Everyone loves a good pamper so whether
it’s painting your toenails, or applying a face mask, it will make your
day more
interesting, fun and relaxing.
Have friends over more often: While busy lifestyle can sap
you of your spontaneity, having friends over and setting aside some time
just
to play can offer a regular outlet for having fun. Worried that your
house is
too messy to have people over? There are simple and stress-relieving
methods
for cleaning, and you’ll likely find that less clutter leads to less
stress
anyway.
Go ahead, have a party: Is it right to say everyone loves
parties? Maybe. But partying is fun. You can unwind, interact with
friends, be
merry and forget whatever worries you have.
Maintain a sense of humour: You can turn your stress into
fun wit an attitude shift if you focus on maintaining a sense of humour
in your
daily life. With a light-hearted attitude, events that would normally be
annoying become amusing; big hassles become humorously absurd; major
stressors
become really great stories waiting to be told. Having a sense of humour
is a
big part of having fun – it’s a way to actively seek out fun and
happiness
instead of waiting for it to come to you.
Have a regular game night: Many people associate having fun
with games, but how many people regularly indulge in a game night?
Whether you
rotate having the game night among a group of friends or stay home and
play
with your family, finding a regular outlet for games can be a great
stress
reliever and method of having fun.
Tell jokes: Forwarding emails that make you chuckle isn’t
bad, as long as you are sure not to forward things that people may find
annoying. If you cull jokes from the internet, others may share jokes,
and you
will suddenly have more fun in your life.
Soothe the senses: Light a scented candle that has a calming
fragrance like lavender. Listen to your favorite, most relaxing music
or, go
somewhere and enjoy the scenery, whether you are outdoors or viewing an
art
exhibit. Drink some warm tea or taste some dark chocolate. Treat
yourself by
getting a massage or, if you want to be alone, take a bath. Just relax!
You
cannot have fun when you are tensed up or worried about things. Just let
go of
these feelings and focus on enjoying your day. Do not start thinking,
‘Oh, I
have so much to do tomorrow!’
Beside all the stated benefits, living a stress-free life
make you stay healthy for longer – enjoy your life when you have it, you
will
miss it when it’s gone!
